Kanha-Bandhavgarh-Jabalpur-Bhedaghat-Bargi

Detail

This tour through Madhya Pradesh takes you on a journey through some of the state’s most iconic natural and cultural landmarks. Starting with the famed tiger reserves of Kanha and Bandhavgarh, the tour then moves to Jabalpur, a city rich in history and natural beauty, before concluding with the breathtaking Marble Rocks of Bhedaghat and the tranquil waters of Bargi Dam.

Kanha National Park, one of India’s largest and most well-managed parks, spans over 940 square kilometers. It is renowned for its significant population of Bengal tigers, leopards, and the rare hardground barasingha (swamp deer). The park’s landscapes of meadows, sal forests, and water bodies provide a diverse habitat for wildlife. Safaris in Kanha offer a thrilling chance to observe these animals in their natural environment. The park also focuses on conservation efforts, which are crucial for maintaining its biodiversity.

Bandhavgarh National Park, though smaller than Kanha, boasts one of the highest densities of Bengal tigers in the world. The park is also home to the historic Bandhavgarh Fort, perched on a hilltop and believed to be over 2,000 years old. Safaris in Bandhavgarh are conducted in different zones, each offering unique wildlife sightings and scenic landscapes. The fort area is also rich in history and mythology, adding a cultural dimension to your wildlife adventure.

Jabalpur serves as a gateway to these parks and is itself a destination worth exploring. The city is known for its marble rock formations at Bhedaghat, where the Narmada River has carved through the marble, creating spectacular gorges and waterfalls. The Dhuandhar Falls, a part of this formation, are named for the mist (dhuan) they create. A boat ride on the Narmada River through the Marble Rocks is a surreal experience, especially during a moonlit night.

Bhedaghat also offers cultural attractions such as the Chausath Yogini Temple, which provides panoramic views of the surroundings. The temple’s ancient architecture and intricate carvings are a testament to the region’s historical significance.

A short drive from Jabalpur leads to Bargi Dam, a massive dam on the Narmada River. The dam’s reservoir is a serene spot for boating, fishing, and bird watching. The surrounding area is also ideal for picnics and leisurely strolls, offering a peaceful conclusion to your journey through Madhya Pradesh.
