Bandhavgarh has been at the center of human activity and settlement for over 2000 years, and there are references to it in ancient Hindu books (Narad-Panch Ratra and the Shiva Purana).

The oldest sign of habitation in the park are caves dug into sandstone, facing north of the Bandhavgarh Fort. Most of them are painted with Brahmi inscriptions dating from 1st century B.C.

A number of Dynasties have ruled the Fort, for example, Maghas from 1st century A.D., and Vakatakas from 3rd century A.D. Ever since then, Bandhavgarh was ruled by various dynasties, including the Chandela Kings.

Bandhavgarh became more and more deserted until forests overran the area and it became the royal hunting reserve. At independence, Bandhavgarh remained a private property of the Maharaja until he gave it to the State, which later converted to a National Park in the year 1968. After the park was created poaching and hunting were brought under control and the animal count rose drastically. The one species that prospered in particular were Tigers. A generous increase in the forest boundary provided much-needed space for the Big Cats to move around and flourish.

Overnight at the resort.
