Bandhavgarh derives its name from Ramayana legends and was designated as a National Park in 1968. Spread across 1,536 square kilometres in Madhya Pradesh, it is considered one of the most exceptional destinations for wildlife tourism in India. The reserve is mainly recognised for its healthy population of over 150 Royal Bengal Tigers, but is also home to leopards, sloth bears, elephants and more.
Located within Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, this 11-metre-long monolithic statue of Lord Vishnu reclining on a seven-hooded serpent dates back to the 10th century AD. The vicinity is rich in fruit-bearing trees and boasts a pond that serves as a watering hole for thirsty animals. The river Charanganga, which is the lifeline of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, originates here from the feet, or charan, of Lord Vishnu.
Note: Accessible on safaris through Tala zone or on zone-free, full day safaris.
These stunning 2,000 year old ruins sit within the core zone of Bandhavgarh National Park. Legend has it that Lord Rama built the fort and gifted it to his brother Lakshman, hence the name Bandhav (brother) and Garh (fort) was derived. In its former glory, the fort was a magnificent hilltop lookout. Nowadays, it is home to exotic birds, bats and more.
Note: The fort is only open to visitors twice a year.
Dudh Dhara on the Narmada River is named for its apparently milky white water. Situated on the edge of the Amarkantak valley amidst thick woods and dense forests, the falls and surrounding area are at their most impressive during the monsoon season.
