Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve Travel Information

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve Description:

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is Maharashtra’s largest and oldest nature preserve. The more than 600-square-miles of the park’s boundaries protect large swathes of dense forests that are home to nearly 100 tigers.

The Tadoba portion of the park was created in 1955 to help protect the remaining tiger population in the region after centuries of over hunting. In 1986 the Tadoba reserve was merged with Andhari Wildlife Park as part of India’s Project Tiger.

While the tigers are the largest draw for travelers on tours of India, there are dozens of other rare species of animals including Indian leopards, sloth bears, gaur, nilgai, dhole, striped hyena, small Indian civet, sambar, spotted deer, barking deer, chital, and chausingha. Marsh crocodiles, once common across Maharashtra, can often be spotted sunning themselves on the banks of Lake Tadoba, and there are dozens of other species of reptiles like Indian pythons slithering through the dense jungle.
