Bandhavgarh is also the land of tigers. This is the place to visit if you want to spot the big cat. India’s top dwelling for tigers, Bandhavgarh National Park has the highest density of Royal Bengal tigers in the world. The sight of the majestic tiger, up close and personal, is said to trigger a sense of awe in you, of the kinds you would have only experienced in your childhood.

Pench National Park

Pench National Park derives its name from the Pench River that flows through the park.

In 2011, the park won the “Best Management Award”.

Satpura National Park

Madhai is located at the entrance of the most exquisite and beautiful forests in India – Satpura. Few places in the world can compete with its raw wilderness, absolute tranquillity and the air of mystique.

This fort is also known as Moti Mahal situated 24 km from Mandla city. Another fort, Begum Mahal is situated 3 km away from Moti Mahal is known for its three storyed rectangular masterpiece of mugal architecture which was built for Chimney Rani.

Madhya Pradesh ranks 3rd in the tiger population of the country with 308 tigers.

However, recently, tigers were spotted in 1432 forest beats across Madhya Pradesh and this is twice than recorded in 2014. A new national census report is awaited.

Tiger Reserves / National Parks of Madhya Pradesh

  • Kanha ( 1955 )
  • Bandhavgarh ( 1968 )
  • Pench  ( 1975 )
  • Panna ( 1981 )
  • Satpura ( 1981 )

For wildlife enthusiasts, Madhya Pradesh tops the list of “Tiger Sighting Index”.

Newer wildlife sanctuaries are offering joyful news of presence of significant numbers of Tigers & over a period of time, no wonder, Madhya Pradesh may soar to the top place to see Tigers in India.

We are delighted to share a very recent development too :

An ambush of Tigers were spotted for the first time in Madhya Pradesh’s Kheoni Wildlife Sanctuary.

A tiger, two tigresses and two cubs have been captured for the first time by the night-vision cameras set up in the sanctuary, Dewas Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) PN Mishra said.

The streak of tigers was seen drinking water, he said, adding that vigil had been tightened across the sanctuary.

“The cubs are around one-and-half years old ( sub adult ). They have been spotted in the past too.

But this is the first time that all the five tigers were seen together , indicating that they are resident wild cats.

Located quite near to Indore in Dewas district, Kheoni Wildlife Sanctuary is around 125 kms from Indore and has been showing a significant growing population of Leopards,the rare honeybadger and now, Tigers.

Kheoni Wildlife Sanctuary, established in 1955, is situated in Dewas District, Madhya Pradesh. Spread over an area of 122.7 sq km, it is basically a dry deciduous forest, primary flora being teak and bamboo species, and is a home to a wide variety of fauna. Major animal species found here include chital, sambar, blue bull, four-horned antelope, wild boar and barking deer.

The sanctuary is also rich in birdlife, specially in winters. The Sanctuary also has a number of tourists’ spots for visitors. For taking the bath in the ‘Bal-Ganga’ which flows in the forest village Kheoni, people come here 3-4 times every year. There is also an ancient Shiv temple in the village in which the ancient idols of the god and goddess have been found.

 As of now, the only accommodation available is the Forest Rest House of Kheoni.

As per the ENVIS (Environment Information System) Madhya Pradesh website, the primary fauna found in Kheoni Sanctuary are cheetal, sambhar, blue bull, four-horned antelope, wild boar, barking deer, wolf etc.

The wildlife century contains six large meadows and is a perfect breeding ground for herbivorous animals like cheetals and barking deer. Forest officials had made elaborate arrangements to create water holes in the sanctuary at strategic locations. Solar pumps were installed to fill the water holes on a regular basis during the summer season. With food and water in abundance the Tigers have thrived in the scorching hostile summer season.

The Dewas forest division had recently prepared an action plan on Tiger Conservation for accredition under Conservation Assured Tiger Standards (CATS) site which was assessed for compliance by a team of three experts.

Under the CATS, a tiger conservation area is encouraged to meet a set of standards and criteria created by an international group of experts and protected area managers for effective and long-term tiger conservation. Forest department had been making a efforts since quiet a long time to sustain the tiger population in  wildlife century. The department is also planning to train the inhouse staff on Tiger management with expertise from the Satpura National Park. Encouraged by the recent sightings of tigers, the forest department plans to hold meetings of the local tiger council involving the Dewas district administration and police to chalk out plans to conserve the Wildcats.

Bandhavgarh & it’s Elephants

With reference to a recent report on the alleged mistreatment of elephants in Bandhavgarh National Park, many of our guests have reverted to us to have a ground report and check on the facts. This is our version. At no point, we intend to challenge the intention of the photographer. The objective here is to … Continue reading “Bandhavgarh & it’s Elephants”

Statement of PCCF Wildlife, Madhya Pradesh

With reference to a recent report on the alleged mistreatment of elephants in Bandhavgarh National Park, many of our guests have reverted to us to have a ground report and check on the facts.

This is our version.

At no point, we intend to challenge the intention of the photographer. The objective here is to showcase the reality.

As one enters the Tala zone in Bandhavgarh National Park for the safari, on the right side is an enclosure where elephants are kept. The person who saw and photographed had no idea of the background and as we would say impressions can be deceiving, the person drew an opinion and unfortunately were not even enlightened by the accompanying guide.

Since the last one year, Bandhavgarh National Park is invaded by a big herd of wild elephants. Now, we all know that Madhya Pradesh is not a primary habitat of elephants and these pachyderms have ventured from the state of Chattisgarh and reached Bandhavgarh National Park via Sidhi.

Initially, the forest department attempted to stop this journey at Sidhi & return them back, succeed initially but over a period of time, the elephants entered the forests of Bandhavgarh National Park. This particular elephant was tranquilized and captured from an area where he had trampled and killed four villagers who were the sole bread earners of the family. The revengeful villagers were persuaded not to act and the elephant was captured alive by the forest department.

There are certain guidelines by the government where any animal, if has killed humans, should not be released in the wild and has to spend his life in a protected area. Adhering to this, the elephant was brought to Bandhavgarh National Park and is being trained to be of immense use in saving the forests in which he has lived.

Elephant patrolling through the dense Indian rainforest jungles is essential for conservation and in the fight against poachers.

No training is easy, be it humans or animals. Any such training can be heart wrenching but one thing which is wrong in that statement is that the elephant is being trained for tourism. In the National Parks of Madhya Pradesh, the primary responsibility of a trained elephant is patrolling in the deep forest where it is not possible to go by foot. The forests of Madhya Pradesh are basically moist deciduous, extremely dense in nature and cannot be patrolled only by vehicles or food. Elephants can venture into the deep forest safely where it is practically impossible to reach by a vehicle or by foot. Because of these trained elephants, the forest department can patrol inaccessible areas which is a huge deterrent for poachers. India is a country of 1.3 billion people, with 467 people living per km²,compared this to China which is just 145, USA is 35 and Russia is only 24.The cattle population in India is about 225 per km² .

This cumulates to an immense pressure on the forests in India, and still the Forest Department has managed to save it’s rich natural heritage. India still has the largest mammal on planet which is not endangered, still have Tigers which are the largest predators on earth,the numbers steadily growing  and uncounted Leopards, Snow Leopards & a healthy Rhino population. And all this is due to the hard work of the Forest Department, acceptability by the local community and adaptability of the wildlife. India’s wildlife numbers are growing. India is home to over 200 endangered species, no big mammal has been lost in last 50 years, unlike other countries where forests and wildlife has got decimated.

Apologies if this seems emotional, but someone comes and sees something and without understanding the truth starts to spread news is not fair. Our Forest department has taken very serious note of this & the highest authority ( PCCF Wildlife, Government of  Madhya Pradesh ) has made a statement too ( attached ).. One cannot see one incident in isolation, one has to see the bigger picture.

As a company, we do not promote elephant rides & we condemn acts like elephant rides in Amer Fort ( Rajasthan, India ) on hard stones ferrying tourists.

Madhya Pradesh has a rich land bringing in diverse culture, history, heritage and wildlife. If you are a wanderlust by nature, visiting Madhya Pradesh would surely be an enriching experience for a lifetime. There are so many things to see and do in this state, that one trip might not be sufficient. No matter how many times you walk through the history of Madhya Pradesh, relive the bygone times, immerse in the spiritual sanctity and get lost with the land’s cultural heritage, it will be an all new acquaintance for you.

It is accepted that India is a land of diversity owing to its numerous cultures, religions, tradition and heritage. Each state has unique places, people and traditions, even in Madhya Pradesh.

Let us look at the exclusive specialties that make Madhya Pradesh unique:

  1. Khajuraho Temples- Declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site, this group of temples will leave you spellbound at first sight. The architecture, design and the sculptures are something to marvel at. The temples are known for its erotic and aesthetic carvings based on the idea- ‘Celebration of love between two souls’. Besides gazing at the sculptures, you can also head for the light and sound show in the evening to know the history of the temple.
  • Bheda Ghat- On visiting this place, the first thing that you will exclaim is ‘What an awesome place!’ Surrounded by crystal clear marble rocks all around, this place abounds in peace, tranquility and serenity. To go around Bheda Ghat, you must avail the boat ride where the boatman will share information about this place in the most engaging manner. If you are in search of souvenirs to keep as a token of your tourism in Madhya Pradesh, you can get it from the local stores that sell various items made of marble. Another attraction of this place is the Dhuandhar Falls. The waterfall does not have such a great height but the speed at which river Narmada flows down, creates an astonishing view for the visitors.
