About the wild Bandhavgarh
Bandhavgarh
used to be the hunting reserve of the royal family of Rewa, though its
history goes back two millennia. In caves you can still see paintings by the
ancients. It is a retreat where history and nature meet. Covering about 450
sq km, about half the park comprises sal forests, while mixed forests are
found in the higher reaches of the hills. Stretches of bamboo and grasslands
extend to the north. The main viewing area is still in the core of the Park
with its 32 picturesque, wooded hills. An ancient fort up on a precipice,
800 metres high, dominates the Park. This is where the famous white tigers
of Rewa were discovered. Also to be seen here are nilgai, chousingha,
chital, chinkara, wild boar, foxes, jackals, the jungle cat, ratel, hyena,
porcupine, the rhesus macaque and the black-faced langur. About 150 species
of birds are also found here and include the migratory birds that arrive in
winter like the steppe eagle and various water-birds.
