Exploring Tiger Tourism And Conservation In Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh

Madhya Pradesh leads India's tiger census with over 780 tigers, including 164 individuals residing in the 1,536-square-kilometre Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.

Tourists visiting Bandhavgarh's core and buffer zones frequently encounter tigers like Samrat, an eight-year-old male Bengal tiger residing in the Tala zone.

Following a Supreme Court ruling in early 2026, mobile phones are prohibited during safaris to promote responsible wildlife tourism and reduce animal stress.
