Introduction to city Bandhavgarh - In Madhya Pradesh |
If Kanha is Kipling’s country, then Bandhavgarh is the jewel in Madhya
Pradesh’s crown. Situated at a distance of 195 km from Jabalpur and 225 km from
Khajuraho, the Bandhavgarh National Park is a premier wildlife preserve in the
Vindhya mountain range of Central India. It is a tiny park compared to Kanha but
with nearly the same number of tigers and leopards, or at least that is the
official figure. Besides tigers and leopards, Bandhavgarh is also extremely
productive for medium-sized bison herds. Bandhavgarh came into existence
as a national park in 1968 with a core area of 105 sq. km, which was later
extended to include two adjoining sal forests in 1986. Before becoming a
national park, it was the game reserve of the Maharajas of Rewa. But due to loss
of royal patronage, it remained neglected for a long time until the government
declared it a national park to control rampant poaching in the area.

become extinct here. Apart from tigers, Bandhavgarh is also famous for sloth
