The Land of Heritage: Bandhavgarh

Normalcy for wildlife explorers has been found in the shadows of forests and jungles. Our last refuge was the Indian Royal Bengal Tiger, as we have travelled across continents photographing different fauna. It was the last remaining unconquered item on our list which included The Green Amazonian Snakes, Dragon Lizards in Borneo and The Untamed Beers from Antarctica. We were still interested in tigers for now. Bandhavgarh, an Indian National Park that is small and diverse, was selected for this extravaganza.

The Bandhavgarh Jungle Safari is a favorite among wildlife lovers all over the globe. This is due to the highest density of Royal Bengal Tigers within a small area. When the grass gets perkier and the temperature reaches 44 degrees, the tigers will make their way in packs to find water. This makes it a great experience for photographers and makes it a memorable experience. It is a great place to capture wildlife professionals as it includes biodiversity such as leopards, wild cows, blackbucks and panthers.

We were there. Since my last visit, Delhi Airport was swankier. Local ground staff told me that it was due to the Commonwealth Games, which were held in Delhi in 2010. As we waited for our connecting flight from Bandhavgarh to Jabalpur, which is only 200 km away, it was clear that there was no time. Sharad, our charming manager and tour guide on this trip, was eagerly waiting for us in Jabalpur. From there we would embark on a road trip for Bandhavgarh (about 200 kms from Jabalpur).


We arrived in the Tala section of the forest 5 hours after that flight. Bandhavgarh is made up of four major areas: Tala, Magdhi Khitauli, Panpatta and Khitauli. Tala is the most popular spot for tiger sightings and has the highest tiger populations of all the four. In a few minutes, Tala's majestical nature will be apparent to us.

There was a hustle behind the leaves, and the langurs yelled their high pitched alarm sounds. Ranjeet, our driver signaled to us to hold our breath and wait for the moment. A flash of lightning brought out a tigress from behind the leaves. She was chasing a sambhar, and within ten seconds she had her down. The cubs also emerged from their hiding places and began to eat the prey. The Bandhavgarh tour was an immediate success.
