Beyond the Safari: Uncovering Bandhavgarh’s Best-Kept Secrets

The renowned national park of India is Bandhavgarh, which is in the Umaria district. This national park is more than witnessing wildlife. Visitors make a booking for Bandhavgarh National Park in advance to come here and witness the beauty of this place. Jungle Safari is a thrilling experience for visitors, but this park is also rich in lesser-known experiences. The park is covered with dense forest, ancient temples with interesting past stories, and tranquil waterfalls.

With Seven Safar, along with the jeep safari, you can explore these hidden treasures and make your journey to Bandhavgarh National Park more memorable. 

Majestic flora in Bandhavgarh National Park

Nature lovers can find peace over here, and the diverse flora of the park are the unsung heroes of the jungle. Bandhavgarh National Park is home to 300 species of flowering plants that bloom in colour and texture into nature and make the aura more alluring.

The landscape of the park is covered in Sal forest, which becomes a lush green canopy during the season of monsoons and a golden-brown carpet during summer. The other species also need to be witnessed, including Ber, Babul, Khair, Madhuca, Saj, and Tendu. 

Hidden badi gufa 

Badi gufa is a hidden, mysterious and underrated attraction of Bandhavgarh National Park. Badi Gufa offers a surreal glimpse into Bandhavgarh’s rich historical and spiritual heritage. It is the largest man-made cave in the park, where monks used to come for meditation. The coolness and sheer silence are the attraction points where visitors come to get some peace while learning about the history of Badi Gufa. 

The sandstone rock is the speciality of the cave, with nine small rooms, eye-catching broad entrances, and a simplified design that strikes the mind.

Shesh Shaiya

In the middle of Bandhavgarh National Park Fort, a hidden gem truly shines: Shesh Sahiya, famous for its mystical presence and ancient stories. It is a 35-foot-long statue of Lord Vishnu in a reclining posture, surrounded by the seven-headed serpent Sheshnaag.

The location is in the middle of sal trees and the surroundings of flowing springs where visitors are allowed to get off their jeep and walk around. People do not often visit there, so this spiritual place is still untouched and natural, so it is an ideal place for spiritual travelers, photographers and culture lovers.

Bandhavgarh National Park Resorts

Bandhavgarh National Park is not only about jungle safari, looking for the presence of roaring tigers and the dense forest, but also the staycation in between the lush green jungle, which gives the most unique experience. Tree houses, lesser-known resorts in the middle of sal forest and bamboo groves are just not a place to rest, but they are a part of Bandhavgrh NationalPark, an experience of peaceful aura while sipping the morning tea. 

Imagine looking at a deer grazing at night under the dim light of stars. You can witness them by your cottage window. The unexplored nature walks and birdwatching spots that you cannot find on the map.
