Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve
West India
This classic teak and bamboo paradise epitomises Maharashtra's oldest and largest national park. Created in 1955, Tadoba offers a stunning landscape, from the lush green foliage in early monsoons to the dry and dusty browns and yellows of summer, allowing visitors to enjoy its beauty throughout the year. Often referred to as The Jewel of Vidharba, Tadoba was overlooked until very recently. Visionary management and better protection now ensure it sits amongst the best parks in India with recognised tigers and their playful cubs residing around picturesque lakes like Tadoba and Telia, and the meadows of Panderpuni, Khatoda and Jamunjhora. Recent village relocation programmes are opening up new areas and new habitats and the greater area now contains over 115 tigers in its 1,854 square kilometres area. Tadoba is shrouded in the legends of its original inhabitants, the Gonds. Once great hunter-gatherers, they are now principally farmers and herders since the wave of Hindu settlers op...ened up these dark forests in the 18th and 19th centuries. Evidence of their tribal kingdoms can still be seen in the fortress of Chanda today. The name Tadoba is derived from the legend of a Gond called Taru who was killed by a tiger. There are three tourism zones that can be accessed via one of four gates around the park - Khutwanda, Kolara, Navegaon and Mohurli.Destination Information
