Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, spread across 1,727 sq km in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra, is famed for having one of the highest tiger densities in central India. Dense teak forests, meadows, and the Tadoba lake create the stage for daily encounters with Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and wild dogs. The reserve has six core gates and multiple buffer zones, offering a variety of terrains and wildlife experiences.
