World's Best National Parks: Bandhavgarh National Park
Best National Parks in the World Map
A visit to Bandhavgarh National Park practically guarantees at least a few wild tiger sightings, which is way cooler than spotting a big cat sprawled out on a rock at your typical American zoo. The sanctuary, located in a lush forest in central India, boasts the country's densest tiger population. And because this is a national park, all the animals, including the tigers, roam free.
A guided safari in a jeep or on top of an elephant offers views of langurs (fat grey monkeys), chitals (spotted deer with big antlers) and black bucks (with protruding spiral horns). Leopards live in Bandhavgarh, too, but due to their elusive nature, they're harder to, uh, spot.
Central India's weather ranges from hot to hotter most of the year. In February and March, though, high temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, making tiger-chasing much more comfortable.
