The Monsoon Forest offers excellent accommodations, cuisine, ambience and natural history services at the Bandhavgarh National Park in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. Bandhavgarh is among the prettiest of all the national parks of Central India, the thickly forested region of the Vindhya and Satpura Hills that comprises some of India's best tiger reserves and inspired Kipling's Jungle Book.

Bandhavgarh is widely rated as one of the best wildlife reserves in India for tiger sightings and few tourists return without seeing one over a three or four day stay at the Monsoon Forest. This national park hosts thriving populations of other mammals like sloth bear, leopard, chital or spotted deer, sambar, muntjac or barking deer, nilgai antelope, chinkara or Indian gazelle, the world's only four-horned antelope wild boar, gaur or Indian bison, langur, rhesus macaque, dhole or Indian wild dog, Indian fox, Indian wolf, ratel or honey badger, civet, lesser cats, etc.

Bandhavgarh is a delightful national park for birders with over 242 species recorded. It has been declared an Important Bird Area because of the presence of critically endangered and near threatened birds.

Bandhavgarh is also historically interesting and has an imposing fort and historic temples. This national park makes an excellent combination with many architectural gems like Khajuraho and Orchha. It can also be combined with other excellent national parks like Kanha, Pench, Panna or Satpura.

     

1000 year old stone sculptures of deities in Bandhavgarh reflect the reverence for wildlife in Indian religion and culture from millennia. The tribes around Bandhavgarh treat the tiger with respect and not as an unpredictable monster.

   
 

Bandhavgarh shows traces of human activity from over 2000 years. The imposing Bandhavgarh Fort rises on a hilltop, 811 meters high, in the heart of the national park. Remarkable stone sculpture can be seen near the fort.
