My first love

Bandhavgarh will always hold a special place in my heart. Despite growing up in Madhya Pradesh, a state famous for its amazing tiger reserves, I was never really interested in wildlife. But a few summers back, just after I was done with school and before I was to start college, my parents decided to reward my good marks with a trip to a tiger reserve. Nature, they said, was the perfect way to relax. Perhaps it was fate that Bandhavgarh National Park should be the destination for my first wildlife trip.
 
This was the trip in which I fell in love with nature. From the indescribable beauty of the tiger to the many birds we saw, from Malabar Pied Hornbills to Indian Rollers to Egyptian Vultures, everything was just too good to be true.
 
In short, Bandhavgarh offers you great sightings of tigers and other animals, a great birdwatching experience, all with a beautiful landscape, and excellent accommodation and hospitality, all arranged perfectly by Asian Adventures!
