Bandhavgarh National Park
Perched on a 811-metre high sandstone cliff at the heart of the national park, the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort is a two-thousand-year-old fortress mentioned in the Narad Pancha Ratra and said to have been given by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana. The climb through the forest to reach it is itself a safari experience, and the fort contains ancient cave paintings, a massive reclining Vishnu sculpture, and panoramic views over the entire tiger reserve.
Access to the fort is only allowed during safaris — you cannot visit independently. Tell your driver you want to visit and plan for a longer safari duration.
