History & Overview

Discover Tadoba

Slowly creeping up to the stature of Bandhavgarh as the go-to National Park for Tiger-centric tourists, Tadoba is burgeoning with tourism and as a result, tigers who are less reserved about the multitude of eyes watching them from their jeeps.

Tadoba is located in the state of Maharashtra, once again about a 2.5 hour drive away from Nagpur airport. Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve is around 1700 sq km in size dominated by teak. The core area is 625 sq.km. with tiger population crossing 80 tigers.

Here, even Sloth Bears are seen in good frequency in comparison to the above 04 parks. The summer brings many a photographer here as the water bodies become an almost permanent fixture hitting the mid-40’s – the big cats needing the waters to cool their heavy bodies.
