Bandhavgarh National Park is the best park to spot a Tiger in the wild in India. Located in Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, the park was a Shikargah, or game preserve for the Maharajas of Rewa and their guests. The park was declared a National Park in 1968 and a Tiger Resereve in 1972 under the Project Tiger and Wildlife Protection Act. In 1982 three more nearby ranges namely Khitauli, Magdhi, and Kallawah were included along with Tala (the original Bandhavgarh National Park) to form Bandhavgarh National park. While the buffer zone includes the forest divisions of Umaria and Katni. Bandhavgarh is famed for the highest density of Bengal tigers in the world.
