Bandhavgarh National Park, located in the heart of India in Madhya Pradesh, is one of the most popular national parks renowned for its thriving tiger population. A significant spot within this park is Rajbahera, a marshy meadow that acts as a catchment area for the seasonal rain and home to a variety of wildlife. The best time to visit Rajbahera for wildlife sighting is during the dry months of October to June, when the animals come out to the water sources for drinking. The park remains closed during the monsoon season, typically from 1st July to 15th October, due to the heavy rains making the safari tracks impassable.
For those keen on spotting the majestic Bengal Tigers and capturing the essence of the rugged terrain, March to May is ideal despite the scorching heat, as the foliage thins out and sighting becomes easier. Moreover, the waterholes are teeming with fauna coming to quench their thirst. Alternatively, November to February offers a more comfortable climate with temperatures ranging from cool to moderately warm. This period is also the best time for bird-watchers to visit, as migratory birds are present in the park. Wildlife enthusiasts should ensure they book their safaris in advance due to the high demand in peak seasons.
