About

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, located in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra, is one of India’s premier wildlife destinations known for frequent tiger sightings and rich biodiversity. Spread across lush teak forests, bamboo groves, grasslands, and water bodies like Tadoba Lake, the reserve provides a perfect habitat for tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, and over 200 species of birds.
