Imagine yourself in an open Gypsy slowly and silently cruising along a dense forest trail, listening
to the alarm calls of a Langur warning the presence of a Tiger. You feel a tingling sensation in the nape of your neck as
the forest floor quietens, and you silently watch, through the early morning mist, a faint image of yellow and black stripes
crossing the trail ahead. You move on, as the early rays of the sun make an array of magical shapes through the trees across
the forest floor, and your lungs revel in the fresh morning air.
Such is the experience at Bandhavgarh National Park;
one of the few remaining havens for the pride of Indian Wildlife - the Royal Bengal Tiger.
Bandhavgarh is a new National
Park with a very long history. Set among the Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh with an area of 168sq miles (437sq kms) it contains
a wide variety of habitats and a high density of game, including a large number of Tigers. This is also the White tiger country.
These have been found in the old state of Rewa for many years. The last known was captured by Maharaja Martand Singh in 1951.
This white Tiger, Mohun is now stuffed and on display in the Palace of Maharaja of Rewa.
Prior to becoming a National
Park, the forests around Bandhavgarh had long been maintained as a Shikargarh, or game preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa. The
Maharaja and his guests carried out hunting - otherwise the wildlife was well protected. It was considered a good omen for
Maharaja of Rewa to shoot 109 tigers. His Highness Maharaja Venkat Raman Singh shot 111 Tigers by 1914.
