Mahua Kothi
Nestled in Central India among the picturesque Vindhya and Satpura ranges, Mahua Kothi is housed in one of India's most beautiful national parks, Bandhavgarh National Park. The dramatic landscape features tropical forests and woodlands, and steep rocky hills with flat grasslands in the valleys below. The reserve supports one of the highest densities of tigers on the Subcontinent. Its hilly open terrain includes many large grassland meadows that offer good chances of sightings. The Park is also home to a large variety of mammals: leopard, chital (spotted deer), Sambar deer, nilgai, wild boar, chinkara, sloth bear, rhesus macaque, grey langur, jungle cat, hyena, porcupine, jackal, fox, and wild dog. The name Mahua Kothi draws its inspiration from one of India's most beautiful trees, the Madhuca Indica, or as it is commonly known, the Mahua or butter tree. Pronounced 'ma-hoo-a', this tree with its fleshy off-white flowers plays a central role in festivals and rituals.

Suddenly our guide's eyes caught sight of a rock that looked unusually black in colour. It took us a while to comprehent this Sloth Bear mother with a cub on her...

When visiting an Indan jungle, its always a dream come true to be able to see the rare and magnificient tiger. We were on our way out of the park in the evening when all of a sudden we spotted a tigress in the middle of making a kill. She had a spotted deer by the neck and the deer's body was convulsing. We stopped and watched with bated breath. The...

He moved across the track in front of the vehicle and stood still for a while. the wolf was looking at some spotted deer grazing nearby. The tall grass hid the...

Anyone who has been to bandhavgarh would recognize this place, yes this place is the Gopalpur waterhole which is situated next to the Chakradhara grassland. When I parked my jeep near this waterhole the first thing I noticed was the red water and at once i thought that may be a tiger has made a kill in the waterhole but soon i realized that the red colour...

A great morning in the Bandhavgarh Fort at an incredible view point what we see is usually some great sights of different vultures at eyelevel or even below us, as they roost in the cliff below.
Usually of what we see it’s a Long-billed vulture, which is also one of the biggest bird in this reserve, and very occasionally we get glimpses of the Peregrine...
