Species of Mammals
Bandhavgarh was the former hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa. White Tigers, now a major attraction around the world’s zoos, were first discovered in Rewa, not far from here. The terrain is broken, with rocky hill ranges, running roughly east to west, interspersed with grassy swamps and forested valleys.
The vegetation is chiefly Sal Forest in the valleys and on the lower slopes, gradually changing to mixed deciduous forests on the hills and in the hotter drier areas of the park in the south and the west. The wide valleys along the streams have long linear grasslands flanked by Sal Forests. These together provide Bandhavgarh with its rich diversity.
Home of the Royal Bengal Tiger
Bandhavgarh has always been an excellent tiger habitat and is known for the highest density of Tigers in the world. Some of the most famous tigers to have inhabited Bandhavgarh and immortalized in BBC and National Geographic documentaries include Charger and Sita, B2, Bhokha, Bamera, Jhujhura female to name a few. The current dominant males in the park include the Mahaman Male, Bajrang, D1 and Chota Bheem

A photo odyssey with Jason Fernandes
I grew up spellbound by documentaries on Bandhavgarh’s legendary tigers, Charger and Sita in the late 90s. This whetted my appetite, and in 2009, I saw my first wild tiger, Kallu, on field.
Kallu led me down a rabbit hole of exploring Kanha, Satpura, Pench & Tadoba, to name a few.
In 2012, Kenya, my Africa debut, felt like stepping onto a movie set. Time stretched like the savannah before my eyes. Just to soak in everything- the landscape, the people, was special.
The rest, as they say, is history.
What started as a hobby, blossomed into a full-blown boots and backpack affair. Today, I spend an average of 180-200 days on the field in India & Africa. Wilderness Uncut sprouted from this desire to spend more time on the field. Watching a tiger still excites me, and the day that is gone, there is nothing left.
JASON FERNANDES,
Trip Leader
My tête-à-tête with wildlife began quite serendipitously in 1996.
As a Naturalist, I mastered tracking tigers in national parks of India like Jim Corbett, Kaziranga, Dudhwa, and Central India’s Kanha and Bandhavgarh, among others.
Going beyond tiger loyalism, I segued into Rajasthan, Gujrat, national parks in South India, and Sri Lanka, guiding wildlife and cultural tours.
Cloistered from the city hullabaloo, I had the honor of working with Sir David Attenborough and Nigel Marvin on award-winning international films like- Tiger: Spy in the Jungle (BBC), Lost Land of the Tiger (BBC), Life of Mammals (BBC), Warriors of the Monkey God (BBC), and Monkey Thieves (Nat Geo). I have assisted acclaimed photographers like Steve Winter and Jonathan Scott with logistics, permits, and location management for film shoots.
27 years into the wild, and it feels like the odyssey has just begun.
