It is through Chakradhar that one can head to another famous attraction in the park, Bandhavgarh Fort.
Bandavgarh Fort is located atop the Bandavgarh Hill, and is home to many endangered species of vultures. The fort was the seat of rulers of Rewa State, and there are statues of various incarnations of Lord Vishnu inside the fort, which were carved out of single rock.
It is believed that this fort remained under the reign of many rulers like the Maghas, the Vakatakas, the Sengars, the Kalchuris and the Baghels. Near the fort lies a temple dedicated to Lakshmana (Bandhavdish).
The national park also has a number of accommodations to augment the experience of the travellers visiting the park. While some are luxury accommodations and some are budget hotels, there are a few that have this quite obvious jungle theme.
