Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, National park in Chandrapur district, India.
Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve is a protected area in Chandrapur district in central India. The landscape consists of teak dry forests, gentle hills, lakes, and open grasslands where tigers, leopards, bears, and gaurs live.
The government established Tadoba National Park in 1955 to protect the region's tigers. Forty years later, the area merged with Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary and formed the current reserve.
The name combines Tadoba, a deity honored by local tribes, with Andhari, the river flowing through the territory. Visitors encounter temples and sacred sites still revered by surrounding communities today.
Visitors can explore the reserve from mid-October to late June with guided jeep safaris. The administration closes the area every Tuesday for maintenance and during the monsoon season from July to September.
The Tadoba region hosts Bengal tigers and one of the highest densities of sloth bears in India. Birdwatchers regularly document over 200 species, including fish eagles and paradise flycatchers hunting along the lake shores.
