One of India’s most important Tiger Reserves, the Bandhavgarh National Park sprawls across an area of 625 sq km (241 sq miles). Apart from some 50 tigers, the park’s wildlife includes 250 species of birds, leopards, deer, jungle cats and packs of dhole  (Indian wild dog). Great rocky hills, lush deciduous forests, marshes and meadows make Bandhavgarh one of India’s most scenic areas. A picturesque hilltop fort with fine sculptures is part of the park’s attractions.
