Bandhavgarh National Park
Bandhavgarh is the original home of the white Bengal tiger — a rare genetic variant, not a separate species — and the last wild white tiger ever recorded was shot here in 1958. A guided heritage walk through the park tells the full story of this extraordinary animal, the Maharajas of Rewa who lived alongside the tigers, and the conservation journey that brought Bandhavgarh from a royal hunting ground to India's most important tiger reserve.
Ask your resort to arrange a specialised naturalist guide for this walk — the story is deeply interesting and a generic driver will not do it justice.
