Tadoba National Park is located in Chandrapur district, in the north-east of Maharashtra. Established in 1955 with an area of 116 km², and later expanded with the addition of the 508 km² Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary, Tadoba is known as “the jewel of Vidarbha.”
The park comprises several zones with very different habitats. A large lake is home to numerous birds of prey that feed there, and crocodiles are present too. Several grasslands allow herbivores to thrive, home to chital. Gaur are easily spotted in Tadoba, as are sambar deer, which are not particularly shy. Tigers and leopards are present in significant numbers. Tiger sightings are almost guaranteed if you spend several days here. Unlike other locations, you will often find yourself alone.
This park also has a large population of sloth bears and a significant number of dholes. Tadoba remains little known to the public. Less prestigious and less visited than its neighbours, it has retained its authenticity. You will rarely be bothered by the proximity of other jeeps.
