Things to do in Bandhavgarh National ParkWildlife

Leopard and sloth bear night safari

Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh's buffer zones are open for night safaris, and as darkness falls a completely different cast of characters comes out — leopards moving silently between the trees, sloth bears raiding termite mounds, porcupines waddling along the tracks, and owls calling from the canopy. It is a genuinely different experience from the day safari and exposes a side of the forest that most visitors never see.

Pro tip from your tour advisor

Night safaris are only allowed in buffer zones, not the core area. Bring a warm layer — the temperature in the forest drops sharply after sunset even in spring.
