One of the oldest National Parks of Maharashtra in India Tadoba incidentally happens to be the largest. The total area of the tiger reserve is 1727 sq. km. The core area is 625.40 sq. km and the rest is buffer.
The forests were the home of the Gond Tribe who worship their chieftain called Taru of Tadoba. Taru worshipped as God died at the hands of a tiger whom he fought valiantly. Hence the legendary figure is revered and the park is named Tadoba after him.
The present-day tiger reserve is a combination of Andhari River Forests and Tadoba National Park created in 1955. The area is biodiversity rich both in terms of flora and fauna. The indicator species is the tiger albeit other predators like the leopard, hyena, and jackal are frequently seen. The Tadoba Lake is home to many crocodiles, turtles, and fish. Wetland and shore birds can be seen here in large numbers some of which are winter migrants. The abundance of avian species makes this tiger reserve attractive for birders although a greater number of tourists and wildlife photographers come here to see the tiger in the wild.
Bison, Nilgai and four-horned antelope, spotted deer, sambar, and barking deer are the main prey base. Also common are the langur monkey and the wild boar. A sloth bear is a delightful sight, especially with cubs on its back. No wonder Tadoba is one of the most delightful tiger safari destinations in India.
Tourism is drawing a large number of holidaymakers and wildlife photographers every year. To support the visitors a large number of wildlife resorts provide accommodation. One can find luxury as well as budget resorts for a comfortable stay.
Tiger safaris are organized on open jeeps but an entry permit is a prerequisite. The entry permits are allocated per the tourism zone. The permits can be obtained near the gates and often with the help resort that is providing accommodation to you.
All in all not much trouble for tourists. To explore Tadoba National Park be well prepared. Complete booking formalities before you arrive. Take the assistance of the tour operator or the resort manager. The park is closed from July 1st to October 15th every year.
The best way to reach Tadoba is from Nagpur Airport at a distance of one hundred fifty km. Nagpur is well connected by Air, Rail, and Road with Mumbai. It is connected by Air from New Delhi.
