If you’re up for an amazing wildlife experience, Bandhavgadh National Park can be your next vacation destination. It is nestled in the Vindhya Hills of Madhya Pradesh and is a famous wildlife sanctuary in India, attracting millions of Indians and international tourists every year. It covers a core area of 105 sq km and a larger surrounding area of about 400 sq km. 

Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Bandhavgarh National Park is from October to March. During this time, the weather is nice and perfect for safaris and taking photos of wildlife. The summer months, April to June, can be hot, but animals usually come to waterholes, so it’s easier to spot them. During the monsoon season, July to September, many safari routes are closed because of heavy rains, but the forest turns greener and even more beautiful during this season.
