Booking A Tiger Safari at Bandhavgarh National Park

by Uday Patel Seo Professional & Content Writer India

For those who have not booked their safari in advance and are slated to travel to Bandhavgarh anyway the holiday can be disappointing.There are three zones in the core area

known as the tourism zone. Twenty percent of the park is meant for tourism and this where the big cats roam free. Along with the big cats many other mammals can be seen on an open jeep ride.

But you cannot just drive in, you need a permit to enter the tiger heaven. Hence before you arrive at the destination you should book a permit. This can be done online as well as the current window. Often it is too late by the time you reach the window since safaris are booked well in advance.

So what do you do if you have not secured a permit?

Your only chance is at the current window. Or visit the MP online site which provides the facility to book your excursions. And hope cancellation has taken place. But this is unlikely in times of rush. So stand for hours at the current window and hope to get a ticket.

So be on time for the early bird gets the worm.

There are few options for safari rides. One is to book them for evening and morning rides. The other is to book full day safari. You can book a private safari or a single seati as well and this option is limited. Here you can share rest of the seats with other guests who opt for it. The cost of ride is shared with five other tourists and that makes it economical. You can book a ride on a canter which seats twelve people. The booking for canter is done on current window at the entry gate on first come first basis.

If you book a private safari you have to pay the whole amount i.e for the full jeep for yourself or your family and friends. This is possible if you have added their names in the permit. In this case the group pays the entry and guides fee and the jeep hire cost which is separate.

In full day ride you can seat four tourists only obviously your friends or family. The cost is very high for this ride. It is preferred by wildlife photographers and film makers who wish to enter early and depart late without any break. These are the professionals who wish to stay long in the park.

Hence whence you visit the National Park be aware of the safari types. Also please find out the park safari charges that are applicable at Bandhavgarh. If you are booking a wildlife resort near the people their can assist you in this task.

Booking online is simple you visit the MP online site and follow the instructions. Or request the hotel resort to book tiger safari for you much in advance. You have to pay for the jungle safari charges there send the fee in advance to the resort along with passport details of all who would be on the jeep.

Remember early booking will make excursions in core zone possible else you will have to go for the buffer zone which is not that fruitful.
