Tadoba National Park

Tadoba National Park is located in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. The park borders Kolsa and Mohurli ranges, which are densely covered with diverse forests. Deep valleys, rivers, meadows provide suitable habitat to many life forms within this 116-square kilometer area – 508-square kilometers remain outside the sanctuary boundaries as a buffer zone for wildlife preservation. Tadoba has India’s largest tiger reserve at 625 square kilometers–the Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary covers 250 square kilometers inside these boundaries. With over 400 species of birds that has been documented here so far including endangered species like Jerdon’s babbler and great pied hornbill among others. The lifeline of Tadoba are its waterways: Erai Dam Lake on one hand; Junoria lake or “Lake with twin waters” on another; Tadoba Lake situated 9 km north east from where Erai dam overflows into it during monsoon season giving birth to small rivulets all around forest areas. This magical landscape is hard not to fall in love with!
