The park takes its name from the Bandhavgarh Fort, perched high on a hill within its boundaries. According to Hindu scriptures, the fort was gifted by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana, hence the name Bandhav-garh (Brother’s Fort). Scattered across the fort and surrounding cliffs are more than 30 caves, some with inscriptions dating back to the 1st century.
Among the most revered sites within the park is Shesh Shaiya—a 10th-century carving of Lord Vishnu reclining on the serpent Sheshnag, with the waters of the Charan Ganga stream flowing at his feet. This sacred spot, surrounded by dense forest, is considered the origin point of the Charan Ganga River and remains a place of quiet devotion for locals.
The terrain is a mosaic of hills, valleys, and grasslands, with bamboo and sal forests forming much of the vegetation. This topography, combined with abundant prey, supports a thriving population of carnivores and herbivores. Beyond wildlife, Bandhavgarh is also tied to the lives of local tribal communities, whose folklore enriches the park’s heritage.
Bandhavgarh today is both a cultural landmark and a conservation stronghold—where tigers roam among ruins, and sacred sites like Shesh Shaiya blend spirituality with wilderness.

The park’s plateaus are covered with grasslands that turn golden in summer, providing grazing grounds for deer and antelope. The rocky outcrops and scrub patches, meanwhile, offer perfect cover for leopards and sloth bears.
Monsoons transform the park into a verdant wilderness, replenishing the river and filling small ponds. By winter, the landscape settles into a balance of dry teak forests and green riverbanks, setting the stage for safaris.
Panna’s vegetation mirrors its topography—rugged yet fertile, dry yet interlaced with life-giving watercourses. This dynamic ecosystem supports an impressive variety of species.

Leopards, though more elusive, inhabit the rocky outcrops and denser forests. Dholes (wild dogs) are seen in packs, particularly in grassland zones. Sloth bears, often observed during early morning drives, forage for fruits and termites.
Herbivore populations are strong—chital, sambar, barasingha, nilgai, and gaur form the primary prey base. Wild boar and langurs are also abundant. Smaller mammals such as jackals, civets, mongoose, and porcupines add to the diversity.
Reptiles include pythons, cobras, and monitor lizards, while marsh crocodiles inhabit streams and waterholes. The balance of prey and predators makes Bandhavgarh one of India’s most consistent wildlife destinations.

Evenings bring the calls of owls and nightjars, while mornings start with the chatter of barbets, bulbuls, and warblers. This layered birdlife ensures that safaris in Bandhavgarh are not just about big cats but also about discovering an orchestra of avian life.
