Situated in the rugged terrains and densely wooded valley bottoms of the park in the Tala zone, stands the historic Bandhavgarh Fort. Believed to be approximately 2,000 years old, the fort beautifully graces the landscape of the Bandhavgarh National park. According to popular legends, the Bandhavgarh fort was gifted to Brother Laxman by Lord Rama, as a gift to watch on Lanka.
