Bandhavgarh profits only from little money coming from the government and ONG,
although it has the strongest density of tigers with the world.

The gifts of the tourists bear their fruits. There is no more poaching since 2003.
If you pass to Bandhavgarh, think of the tigers who gave you such an amount of pleasure.
The euros which you will give, are to them completely intended. Thanks for them.
