Gugamal National Park, National park in Maharashtra, India

Gugamal National Park is one of seven protected areas within the Melghat Tiger Reserve in the Chikhaldara and Dharni tehsils of Amravati district, Maharashtra. Its 979 sq km of rugged, hilly terrain supports southern dry tropical deciduous forest dominated by teak, ain, Indian gooseberry, lendia, dhawada and kusum, with bamboo widespread and orchids and strobilanthes on the upper hills.

Gugamal National Park was founded on 22 February 1974 in the Chikhaldara and Dharni tehsils of Amravati district, Maharashtra, as one of seven protected areas within the Melghat Tiger Reserve. It lies in the Melghat hills, not the Western Ghats. Crocodiles were reintroduced in Siddu Kund on the Gadga river near Dhakna in March 1990 and at Hathikund on the Dolar river in February 1991.

The park lies in the Chikhaldara and Dharni tehsils of Amravati district, Maharashtra, not the Western Ghats. Its Marathi name, गुगामल राष्ट्रीय उद्यान, is the form used locally. The forest yields teak, ain, Indian gooseberry, lendia, dhawada and kusum, and is noted for medicinal plants.

Gugamal lies in the Chikhaldara and Dharni tehsils of Amravati district, Maharashtra, and forms one of seven protected areas of the Melghat Tiger Reserve. Access is through the reserve, so permits come from the forest department; arrange them before travelling. The Marathi source notes cool weather, waterfalls, lakes and green grass, making summer a season visitors come for.

The area is home to a crocodile reintroduction program that began in the 1990s and rebuilt several populations across different river sections. This program shows how animals can be deliberately brought back to their natural habitat.
