Visit Tadoba National Park, India

The Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, situated in the Chandrapur District of Maharashtra, spans over 625 square kilometres.

It became one of India's 28 Project Tiger Reserves as recently as 1993. Its hills support a dense tropical dry deciduous forest, largely made up of teak and bamboo and is carved by the Andhari River and dotted with Tadoba Lake.

Although Tadoba has a healthy population of tigers, they are not used to human presence and slow to show themselves. It is worth spending several days here to have a chance to see them. The park is famous for many other great mammals such as leopard, sloth bear, gaur, wild dog, striped hyena, jungle cat and chausingha (the four-horned antelope), not to mention a rich birdlife. Tadoba National Park is for those who want to sample a little-known, little-visited, tourist-free national park and tiger reserve.
