The beautiful landscape of Bandhavgarh National Park especially the Tala zone and the perfect habitat this place harbours, has facilitated the place in becoming a safe and flourishing haven for Bengal Tigers. Bandhavgarh National Park lies in the Umaria sandstone belt and thus is primarily sandstone rich. Sandstone, being a porous rock allows rain water to percolate easily and get stored inside so that it can form perennial streams. The flora of Bandhavgarh National Park is mainly Sal trees and Bamboo thickets along with lush meadows. All these things when combined together create a perfect habitat for scores of wildlife species with the Bengal Tiger being the apex predator of this forest.
