Prior to becoming a National Park in 1968, Bandhavgarh was maintained as a Shikargah (private game preserve) of the Maharajas of Rewa. Its forested hills and lush low-lying meadows are dominated by a large, high rock plateau, which forms a natural fortress. The forest has a complex tapestry of habitats dominated by tropical moist deciduous Sal (Shorea Robusta) and bamboo, interspersed with marshes and grassy meadows. Extending over an area of 437 sq. km, the park has the highest density of tigers in the world.
