Named after the historic Bandhavgarh Fort, which stands within the park, it was once a hunting ground for the Maharaja of Rewa before being declared a national park in 1968.
Beyond its famed tigers, Bandhavgarh is also home to a healthy population of leopards, sloth bears, and a variety of other mammals, including Hanuman Langurs, Sambhar Deer, Nilgai, Wild Boar, and Muntjac.
