Tour to Beautiful Bandhavgarh - 30th April – 5th May, 2010

Discover a magical world set amid the ancient Vindhyan Hills, guarded by an ancient fort, teeming with breathtaking wildlife. The moist deciduous forest of Bandhavgarh is dominated by Sal trees in some areas while bamboo and open grasslands predominate in the northern region in the park. The Park has a core area of 105 sq km and a buffer area of approximately 400 sq km. The topography varies between steep ridges, undulating landscapes, sal forest and open meadows.

Bandhavgarh National Park has the reputation of having the highest density of tigers in the world. There are more than 22 species of mammals and 250 species of birds including Yellow-wattled Lapwing, Black Stork, Lesser Adjutant, Grey-headed Fishing Eagle, and four species of Vultures. Common Langurs and Rhesus Macaque represent the primate group. Carnivores include the Asiatic Jackal, Bengal Fox, Sloth Bear, Ratel, Grey Mongoose, Wild Dogs, Jungle Cat, Leopard and ofcourse, the Tiger. The artiodactyls frequently sighted are Wild Pigs, Spotted Deer, Sambar and Nilgai.

This Safari/Photo Tour promises to go beyond ordinary tourism and entails discussions on the Park, the tigers' Family Trees, Conservation and not to forget, Wildlife Photography.
