2026 guide — permits, timings, famous tigers, and how to plan.
Devada-Adegaon is Tadoba's eastern buffer gate — a name longer than the line of jeeps you'll find here. Mixed teak and bamboo forest, a dhole pack that regularly traverses this zone, and excellent sloth-bear records make this a favourite among serious wildlife observers looking for more than the classic tiger-only shot.
