Crested Serpent Eagle at Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park, with its sandstone escarpments and forested ridges rising through the Vindhya hills, offers photographers a chance to spot the Crested Serpent Eagle against a genuinely dramatic backdrop. The central hill and its ancient fort provide elevated vantage points where these raptors can often be seen surveying the terrain below. March visits, timed with the Majestic Bengal Tigers of India holiday, place you in the park during a favourable window for exploring this varied landscape. Patience and a keen eye for movement along the ridgelines will serve you well when working this terrain.
