Bandhavgarh Safari Itinerary - 1N/2D
Day 1: Arrival and Rest
Your journey begins as you arrive at Bandhavgarh National Park by noon. After completing your check-in process, you're free to unwind and soak in the forest surroundings. Depending on your arrival time, you may opt for a short nature walk (if it’s part of the package or available through your operator). This day is all about adjusting to the calm rhythm of the jungle, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying some downtime. With the safari planned for the next morning, you can spend the evening preparing for the adventure ahead or simply relaxing amidst the serene setting.
Day 2: Morning Jeep Safari and Departure
Wake up early for the highlight of the tour - a thrilling jeep safari inside the national park. Since you have opted for a single jeep safari, try your best to book for the Tala safari zone, the most popular area of Bandhavgarh. The ancient Bandhavgarh Fort and Shesh Shaiya (a statue of lord Vishnu in sleeping position) are located in this zone, which you must visit.
The safari typically lasts around 3 to 4 hours and is conducted in a designated core zone. It’s a carefully guided ride that allows you to explore the terrain, spot animals in their natural surroundings, and learn interesting facts from your forest guide. This Bandhavgarh tour with 1 jeep safari is a compact yet fulfilling experience. After a hearty meal, the tour concludes, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your jungle journey.
The national park remains open from October to June, and each season offers a different vibe. However, the months between February and April are considered ideal for wildlife sightings. The summer season also offers high chances of sightings, but it comes with warmer temperatures. For those seeking comfort and wildlife together, the cooler months post-monsoon (October to February) provide a pleasant climate, though the forest remains lush and dense. Whichever time you choose, this 2-day Bandhavgarh tour ensures a well-rounded experience that fits neatly into a weekend or short break.
