Bandhavgarh National Park remains open for visitors from mid October to June last, 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 prevails from November to February and summer prevails from March to June.
Regarding outfit color, we should avoid shiny or reflective clothes during park safari as such reflective or colors often diverts or attracts wild animals & birds attention which may become cause them leaving the place. Clothes color should be matching with surroundings like dark green, muddy-brown and rocky-grey are the ideal clothing color. Cotton or linen outfits are always considered good for wildlife safaris. As safari track inside Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve are on raw earth so safari is often dusty so clothing should be decided accordingly. Prefer to wear cloths that are comfortable to wear and cover most of the body parts especially during safaris in summers as straight sunlight often make you feel itching in uncovered skin. Full-sleeve outfits help to avoid dust on skin that often faced during safari especially when you are following safari vehicle. Some other important things to carry for safaris are Cap or Hat, sun-glasses, camera covers, water-bottles, binocular, sufficient camera memory-cards. Although these items are not part of clothing but often proves very helpful during safari.
National Park is open for visitors from mid October. During this time, you will be introduced to high grassland area, dense bushes and wetland areas inside reserve. Climate remain cool. In the month of October & November, temperature remains in between approx. 22 to 35 ° Celsius so a pair of woolen outfits may do the work. In winter months December-January-February, temperature ranges between 2 to 8 degree Celsius during morning game drives and in afternoon safari temperature ranges between 15 to 20 degree Celsius. 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 their is no need to keep woolen outfits 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 (with light colors) are the most suitable outfits to wear which covers most of the body part as straight sunlight causes itching effect on skin.
