Tadoba National Park

Tadoba National Park, also called Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) is one of the best wildlife sanctuary in Central India. It is the largest and oldest tiger reserve situated in Chandrapur District near Nagpur and it is declared a national park on 9th April 1955 to give protection to the wildlife. The name Tadoba is originated from the tribal God Taru and Andhari is originated from the name of a river flowing in the dense forest.

Tadoba National Park is the ultimate destination to wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. In order to promote tourism it was opened for visitors by issuing a forest permit, also called as a Tiger Safari Pass. Without a Tadoba Jungle Safari Booking permit, it is not allowed to enter the forest. In the early days of 1980’s, there were 6 entry gates, called core gates to enter in the jungle by Jeep Safari. Due to raising demands from visitors, the Tadoba Forest administration allowed visitors to enter from buffer gates.

It is worth noting that the forest department tirelessly works to protect the tigers by implementing the Wildlife Protection Act. Their great efforts translate into the rising population not only of tigers but also other animals including Bison, Wolf, Spotted Deer, Barking Deer, Sambar, Wild Dog, Chinkara, Nilgai, Langur, and Wild Boar.
