Bandhavgarh National Park in Central India, remains open for visitors from October to June months, every year. In monsoon season, i.e., from July to September, it remains closed for visitors. Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve is located in Madhya Pradesh State of Central India where winter season is from November to February and summer prevails from March to June.
Usually Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve is open for visitors from mid of October month. Temperature in October & November, remains in between 22 to 35° C, so a pair of woolen outfits may do the work. During this time jungle seems lush green with large grasses which may pose some problem in wildlife sighting. In winter months, December-January-February, temperature ranges between 2 to 8° Celsius during morning game drives and in afternoon safari temperature ranges between 15 to 20° Celsius. Morning game drive begins from early morning so proper woolen outfits required to cope with chilling breezes of early morning hours. Resorts often provides woolen blankets during morning park safaris. So accordingly we can arrange the woolen outfits to cope with the chilling breeze during open safari jeep rides. At the threshold of Summers, during March we will not require woolen cloths in day-time but of course we may require thick clothing in morning safari. From the month of April to June, pair of cotton garments are the most suitable outfits to wear which covers most of the body part as straight sunlight causes itching effect on skins.
Regarding outfit color, we should avoid shiny or reflective clothes during park safari as such reflective or attractive colors often diverts or attracts wild animals & birds attention which may become cause of leaving the place by animal or bird. Clothes color should be matching with surroundings like green, muddy-brown and rocky-grey are the ideal clothing color. As safari track inside Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve are on raw earth so safari is often dusty so clothing should be decided accordingly. Cap, sun-glasses, camera covers, water-bottles, binocular, sufficient camera memory-cards are some of the must-carry ingredients to be carried by visitors during park safari.
