India travel. Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve. Tiger spotting on Safari tour India

The national park is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, in the center of northern India. Here on the central plateau, at an altitude of 800 m above sea level, surrounded by stony hills, monsoon and mud forests, are the ruins of the Bandhavgarh fort. Tigers are endangered all over the planet. To save them in India in 1973, the government began to develop and implement the program "Protect Tiger". If you are lucky enough, then from the trip you will bring pictures of striped cats. If not, you will still enjoy driving in jeeps through wild forests. If you really want to take a picture of this striped master of disguise, plan a trip to the reserve for the week, with daily morning and evening photo safari.

The tiger is a powerful, majestic and mysterious animal and one of the most fantastic creations of nature. Seeing it once in its natural habitat, you will never forget this indescribable moment. In addition to tigers, in the park you can also see leopards, Indian sambars and temple monkeys - langurs. There are about forty parks in India, where tigers can be seen, but the biggest density of tigers is in Bandhavgarh Park. Nobody will guarantee that you will see these cats, but the chances are many times greater if you arrive in a dry season on a safari - tigers go out in the morning on the open banks of the rivers to a watering place.

Here you have a chance to meet 70 species of butterflies and a huge number of reptiles, which are represented by cobra, viper, python, krayt, turtles, numerous species of lizards, including monitor lizards and others. Such a huge number of animals could not exist without the fabulous world of flora, which includes land from saline, mixed and deciduous forests, and in the northern part of the national park there are also bamboo groves.

It is one of the smallest Indian national parks, but it is here that the largest population of tigers is located, and this is the birthplace of the famous white tiger. Safari in the tiger reserve are held twice a day. The starting points are Tala, Magdhi, Panpattha and Khitauli. The park is closed every Wednesday for jeep safari. Bandhavgarh is famous for its landscapes combining mountains covered with lush green shrubs, dense forests, lakes where crocodiles are found. On its territory there are 39 caves and each cave is unique in its own way.

Males have a bluish-gray color, therefore they are also called "blue cows", and females are gray-red.

An increase in global average temperature by two degrees will significantly change not only the environment, but also the global economy. You can avoid these negative consequences by keeping the average temperature of the Earth only half a degree less. We are already observing the natural consequences of climate change - scientists associate an increasing number of droughts, storms and other natural disasters with rising sea levels due to global warming. If the temperature rises by two degrees, 200 million people will be in danger of flooding. Countries in which agriculture is more dependent on climate than others (primarily Oman, India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia and Brazil) will be hit hard.
