And with a high population of tigers, Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve offers this experience to thousands and thousands of visitors every year. And if you’d like to view the famous tigers of Tadoba closely, there are several factors you need to consider, especially the best time to visit the tiger reserve. When is the best time to visit Tadoba? This region boasts of a tropical climate, and that makes the months of winter the best time to be at Tadoba.

We repetitively hear in the news about wild animals being seen into metros which are on the periphery of the jungle. It is, of course, breaking news and people shudder at the thought. However, we need to think the other way round. The wild animals are entering our territory as we have been encroaching on their spaces. The forest land in India has been continuously invaded to make way for concrete jungles. The result is the extinction of dwellings for wild animals while harming the ecology. However, we can breathe a sigh of relief wherein India has several forest reserves dedicated to wild animals. Although the lion is king of the jungle, the tiger has its own distinct identity in the woods. The diminishing number of tigers at an alarming rate has been decreased due to the efforts taken by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NCTA). ‘Project Tiger’ is a tiger conservation program launched by the Government of India for Bengal tigers. It aims for a viable population of tige

There are several wildlife reserves of Tiger in India and Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is one of them. These reserves need to be preserved and maintained to save our ecology.
