Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting, as well as having the largest number of tigers in India.In addition to tigers, there are also bears,deer, wolves, birds, etc.
Location: In the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh state.The nearest village is Tala, which is the access to the park.
Opening Hours and Safari(游猎)Times
Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and midafternoon until sunset.The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 pm to spot the animals.The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 because of the monsoon season(季风季节).
Bandhavgarh Zones
Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones:Tala (the park's best zone, with the most tigers),Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers) and Khitauli (scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding).
Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris
Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years.Entry fees have increased since October 2014.When you are going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire.Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people).From 2015 to 2016, park entry tickets' costs were as follows:
Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)
Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)
Jeep Hire
Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep,in addition to the entry cost.This can be done at the park entrance.All hotels can organize jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate.It's much less trouble though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India,it's possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.
