Bandhavgarh is a National Park with a very long history which is spread at Vindhya hills in Madhya Pradesh. This is also the White tiger country. Bandhavgarh National Park is known for the Royal Bengal Tigers. The density of the Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India. 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. There are 32 hills in this part of the park, which has a large natural fort at its center. Bandhavgarh is justifiably famous for its Tigers.

Bandhavgarh National Park is as an unspoilt national habitat for a variety of wildlife peculiar to the area. These include gaur (Indian bison), sloth bear, leopard, porcupine, wild boar, sambhar and spotted deer, among others and of course, the tiger.
