The vegetation of Bandhavgarh National Park includes tall grasslands and thick Sal forest.
Bandhavgarh National Park has three major zones named – Tala, Bamera and Magdi. Among these the Tala zone attracts more tourists as it offers opportunities of sighting the tiger.

To increase the opportunity of spotting the royal predators in Magdi zone, elephant shows are also organized.
Though, the park is majorly inhabited by white tigers but it also provides shelter to several other Indian wild species like Cheetals, Langurs, Bison and Sambars. The beautiful woods of Bandhavgarh attract numerous tourists from all over the world. The park remains at its best during spring season.
