Tigers and Birds of Bandhavgarh National Park

After exploring Hemis NP in the eastern Ladakh region, we travelled back to New Delhi by plane and, immediately thereafter, embarked on a night train journey from Delh to Katni, followed by a few hours by car in order to reach Bandhavgarh NP, in the Madhya Pradesh province, our final destination for a very promising four-day jeep safari trip (9-12 March 2017). Practically, we spent several hours each day on both mornings and afternoons in search of tigers with forest guards driving two jeeps inside the national park boundary. The searchable area allowed to public visitors is spread over a large area covering ca. 120 Km2, where around 20 different tigers may be encountered. Although the tigers are completely wild, they are followed by rangers and scientists with the genealogy of the population being fairly well documented. During the 4 days spent in Bandhavgarh, we were rewarded at 2 separate occasions with amazing views of tigers. During the first sighting, which occurred on 10 March, we had a chance to observe during 5-10 min a five-year-old female, Spotty, a mother tiger born in 2012, with her 3 young (ca. one-year-old) tiger cubs. At that occasion, we were able to photograph the tigers at fairly close range in the vicinity of a dirty track that they had decided to cross at a very slow pace. The second opportunity to observe a tiger occurred during the afternoon of the next day, when Dotty, another five-year-old female, was briefly seen crossing another dirty track. During our jeep safari, while focusing on tiger searching, we also observed many bird and mammal species which were a very welcome addition to an overall very exciting trip to India.
