which generally all guests visiting Bandhavgarh miss out on. The Hideaway in
itself is geared up for many interesting options and the trained naturalist
team makes it all the more interesting.
Morning and Evening Jeep safari is organized in the Tiger reserve, all the
vehicles are 4 x 4 Suzuki open jeeps, fitted with comfortable bucket seats
and fridges. Inside the park you have the option of leaving the jeep and
getting on the elephant to take your chance of getting close to the tiger.
Bandhavgarh Fort which forms the heart and the highest point of the park is
an alternate option to visit for one of the days with a picnic lunch.
At the hideaway there is a small water body frequented by many animals
including the Tiger, a few quite hours on the machaan may prove rewarding
especially for photographers.
Birding around the hideaway and near the farmlands is an interesting option
to see over 250 bird species of this area.
Village visits, workshops with bamboo weavers and excursions to Sanjay
National park ( 2 hours) can also be organized on request.
