Since most animals, including tiger, have little fear of elephants or the people mounted on them, this mode of transportation is ideal for wildlife viewing. There are morning and afternoon wildlife excursions each day. Early risers experience excellent opportunities to observe the smaller birds near camp. After a morning wildlife excursion, we have the option to visit the fort. In addition to tenth-century rock images of the incarnation of Vishnu, Bandhavgarh Fort offers breathtaking views and excellent game viewing.
Vultures soar off the high cliffs, which are also home to rock thrushes and crag martins.
We return to the Jungle Lodge on a late afternoon game drive. After breakfast, we board our coach for a full day's drive to Kanha National Park. Our drive takes us through rural countryside and colorful towns and villages. En route, we have a picnic lunch, arrive at the Mukki region of Kanha late afternoon, and check into Kanha Jungle Lodge for a three-night stay. As the lodge is located in the park's buffer zone, we have the freedom to walk around the grounds.
