After visiting the parks of Corbett and Tadoba some years ago with mixed results we now have been fortunate to book with Nature Safari India Pvt Ltd a 2-week trip to deepen our encounter with the Bengal tiger of India. Attended by Neeraja Bipin the excellent communication during our stay has been an important part of the success and our wellbeing.
A car ride of 5 hours brought us to our first Park –Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve one of India’s most famous tiger habitats, located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh. It has hightiger sighting probability, dense biodiversity, and dramatic landscapes with forested hills and meadows. We did see Bengal tiger, Sloth bear, Indian gaur, Sambar deer, Chital (spotted deer), Nilgai and Wild boar but missed the leopard. While the temperature was 45 degrees best observation was early morning and late afternoon. Our full day safaris did not add to sightings.
