Sterling Bandhavgarh sits in Tala, approximately 2.5 km from Tala Gate of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve. From here, days can begin before sunrise with a safari through sal forests and meadows, slow down over breakfast and a swim, and end with bird calls, a cycle ride or a bonfire under the evening sky.
Beyond its celebrated wildlife, Bandhavgarh is a landscape layered with stories. Ancient caves and sculptures, Shesh Shaiya, the legacy of Bandhavgarh Fort, rich birdlife and the cultures of the surrounding region reveal a destination that rewards those who look beyond the obvious.
