Sloth Bear at Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park, with its sandstone escarpments & forested ridges rising through the Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh, offers a dramatic backdrop for tracking the elusive Sloth Bear. The reserve's rugged terrain, crowned by its ancient central fort, provides plenty of cover & vantage points for patient photographers waiting for a sighting. Those joining the Majestic Bengal Tigers of India holiday in March may find this rocky, wooded landscape yields more than just tiger encounters. Keep cameras ready, as the same forested slopes that shelter Bandhavgarh's famous big cats are also home to this distinctive & less predictable species.
