Achanakmar Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Mungeli District, India
The protected area encompasses 557 square kilometers of dense forests with sal trees, bamboo groves, and teak wood across the Maikal mountain range.
The sanctuary received official designation as a wildlife refuge in 1975 under the Wildlife Protection Act and gained tiger reserve status in 2009.
The sanctuary represents central Indian biodiversity with traditional tribal communities living in harmony with nature along the borders of the protected zone.
The reserve opens from September through June, with entry fees of 50 rupees for Indian nationals and 100 rupees for international visitors.
The Manihari River flows through the center of the reserve, providing water resources for Bengal tigers, leopards, wild bison, and over 150 bird species.
