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
