Set amidst the Vindhya ranges, the park has a series of ridges running through
it.
BANDHAVGARH is very rich in forests and has the highest density of tigers in
the world..
The terrain is broken, with rocky hill ranges, running roughly east west, interspersed
with grassy swamps and forested valleys. Bandhavgarh has about 32 mammals, 250
birds and 72 butterflies providing an excellent outlet for tourists looking for
adventure and wild life. Total Coverage Area: 437 sq. kms / 44,884 hectares/ 168

elevations of the hills. There are extensive stands of bamboo and grasslands.
