Umred Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in Nagpur district, India.
Umred Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected forest area in Nagpur district with habitats for tigers, Indian gaurs, and spotted deer. The reserve spreads across hilly terrain with open and forested sections that shelter a range of animal species.
The sanctuary was officially established in 2013, creating a new protected conservation zone in eastern Maharashtra. Its creation was an important step in securing habitats for large predators and other wildlife in the region.
The sanctuary works closely with nearby villages to involve local people in protection and observation activities. Visitors can see how residents participate in caring for the forest and its animals.
The reserve sits about 58 kilometers from Nagpur city and is best explored with trained guides who know the forest. Visits happen in early morning and late afternoon hours when animals are most active and sightings are more likely.
A male tiger named Jay wandered in from a neighboring reserve and established his own territory within the boundaries. This natural movement shows the reserve works as a functioning habitat for these rare predators.
