About Tadoba National Park

Tadoba National Park is part of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and is one of the famous wildlife parks of Maharashtra, noted for its Bengal tigers, dense forests, lakes, grasslands and various wildlife. The forest reserve is located in the Chandrapur district in Vidarbha and is named after Tadoba Lake and the Andhari River, which pass through its landscape. The reserve provides a home to a wide variety of fauna, such as Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, sambar, chital, nilgai, gaur and marsh crocodiles. It has teak forests along with bamboo forests, open meadows and water bodies, which make it an ideal habitat for wildlife and nature observation and photography.
Today, Tadoba is a popular wildlife spot for photographers and nature lovers. The forest is accessible by guided jeep safaris and visitors can see a variety of animals and plants, such as crocodiles, elephants, and primates. Tadoba is particularly favored by nature and wildlife lovers, photographers, bird-watchers and adventure seekers.

Best Time to Visit Tadoba National Park

The best time to visit Tadoba National Park is from October to March, as it is a more pleasant time for safaris and outdoor adventures. The forest is a wonderful place to explore during the cooler winter months, when many kinds of wildlife can be seen.
April-May is certainly a hot time of year, but wildlife can be found around water sources because they are looking to cool down. The safaris and opening hours in the park vary from zone to zone and season to season, so visitors must refer to the latest forest department rules.
