Comments
The last sentence to your second subheading, Full day safari, indicates that "Bandhavgarh can be reached from Jabalpur Airport at a distance of 175 km. It can also be reached from nearby towns and Khajuraho at a distance of 200 plus km."
What is the type of transportation that would be available for traversing from these locations to Bandhavgarh? Might it be private vehicles and private or public buses and trains?
The second sentence in your introductory paragraph describes Bandhavgarh National Park as "renowned for its floral wealth."
What might be the most photogenic, popular and rare flowering plants? Would they represent woody, non-woody or both woody and non-woody plant families?
My parents always emphasized in their child-raising the ancient wisdom that continues into modern India. My sister, who was Stessily on Wizzley, got to India as student and traveler throughout the subcontinent. She says that World Heritage sites such as Ajanta, Ellora and Sanchi have buffer and core areas.
Might that be the same with Bandhavgarh National Park? Might there be the core-area site and the buffer-area transitioning between that site and the surrounding cultures?
Your first subheading, Bandhavgarh National Park, identifies three areas within the core zone.
Might there be more areas within that core zone? If so, would they assist tourist activities or would they be devoted to something (what?) else?
The second paragraph under your first subheading, Bandhavgarh National Park, describes the core zone as devoted, 20 percent, to tourism.
What goes on in the other 80 percent?
The computer crashed before I could continue with my observation and question regarding afternoon and dusk rides?
Is the afternoon to dusk timespan accommodating one timepan or might it represent a number of start times?
The second sentence in the third paragraph to your first subheading, Bandhavgarh National Park associates rides with early morning, the onset of dawn and from afternoon till dusk.
What time is early morning? What time is the afternoon ride? When is the dusk ride?
I like the idea of earlier entry. You get to the animals before the noisy other people scare them into the bushes.
The third and fourth sentences in your first, introductory paragraph informs us that Bandhavgarh National Park "is also home to ancient relics some of which can be visited on a tiger safari. These are more than two thousand years old built by the tribal who ruled the forests of Bandhavgarh."
Might the relics be garden remnants and living quarters? Would safari participants get to inspect the relics closely and walk among them?
