Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the wild life sanctuaries in the Indian state Madhya Pradesh. This wild life park derived its very name from an ancient fort in the area. Bandhavgarh National Park belongs to the Vindhyan mountain ranges of central India and it boasts to have the highest density of tiger population in the country. Bandhavgarh is blessed with a large variety of residents - both in terms of animals and birds.
