About Tadoba National Park
Tadoba national park is the oldest protected forest in Maharashtra, and it is a charming tiny rainforest that features picturesque mountainous terrains on its north and west sides as well as the pristine, perennial Todoba Lake in the middle. In recent years, both the number of tigers and the number of times they were spotted skyrocketed, and Tadoba National Park quickly rose to become one of the most well-known destinations on the tiger circuit. The majority of the trees in Tadoba National Park are teak and bamboo, and the park also contains some grasslands and mixed dry woods. Tadoba national park is a dry deciduous forest.
Because of this type of vegetation, the visibility throughout the forest is significantly improved, making it possible to see more game, particularly in the months when the weather is dry. During the summer months, certain man-made water holes in this parched terrain serve as a magnet for the local wildlife population. The overall land area of the reserve is around 625 square kilometres, with the national park accounting for approximately 116 square kilometres of that total. This is sufficient to view a significant portion of the fascinating fauna that resides in the region. This region is home to between sixty and seventy tigers. Kolsa, Mohuli, and Tadoba are the names of the three distinct areas that make up the national park’s tourism zone.
