Bandhavgarh Wildlife Safari Package – BYOG (Bring Your Own Group)
A customised safari for the smart, value-conscious traveller — your own jeep, vehicle, and dates, at a clearly structured, budget-friendly price.
The idea: Bring Your Own Group. Share the fixed vehicle and permit costs with your circle — more people, less per person.
Every BYOG Bandhavgarh package includes:
- 1 Private AC Vehicle for Jabalpur/Katni–Bandhavgarh–Jabalpur/Katni transfers
- 1 Private Jeep for all safaris
Travel as a Duo (2 travellers) — maximum privacy, shared between two. Travel as a Tribe (up to 6 travellers) — same fixed costs, split further, so per-person cost drops.

Pro‑Tips for the Smart Traveller
- Fill the Seats: Bring friends or family and try to fill all 6 seats. A full group gives you the lowest per‑person cost while keeping everything private.
- Weekday Advantage: Choose weekday travel when possible. The park is quieter and permit availability is often better.
- Early Bird Gets the Tiger: Booking early improves your chances of getting better zones and tracks before they sell out.
