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.
