Frequently Asked Questions
TravelTaxi: The best time for our Bandhavgarh Tiger Tour is from October to June. The parks are closed during the monsoon season (July to September). For optimal tiger sightings, we recommend visiting between April and May when the vegetation is sparse and tigers often gather around water sources.
TravelTaxi: While tiger sightings can never be guaranteed as they are wild animals, our tour visits three of India's top tiger reserves, significantly increasing your chances. Bandhavgarh, in particular, has the highest density of tigers in India. Our experienced guides know the best spots and times for potential sightings.
TravelTaxi: We recommend packing comfortable, earth-toned clothing suitable for warm days and cool mornings/evenings. Essential items include a good pair of binoculars, a camera with a zoom lens, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. A detailed packing list will be provided upon booking.
TravelTaxi: Safety is our top priority. All safaris are conducted in open 4x4 jeeps specially designed for wildlife viewing, accompanied by experienced naturalists and park-certified drivers. We strictly adhere to all park rules and safety guidelines to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for our guests.
