ताडोबा-अंधारी व्याघ्र प्रकल्प
Maharashtra's oldest park and one of India's best places to see a tiger.
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve lies in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. It is the state's oldest and largest national park. The Tadoba area was protected in 1955 and the Andhari sanctuary was added in 1986. The two were combined and made a tiger reserve in the 1990s.
The reserve is named after the god Taru, and the Andhari river that flows through it. Its dry teak forest, bamboo, rocky hills and the Tadoba lake make good tiger country, and the cats are often seen near water, even in the daytime. The Moharli and Kolsa zones are especially popular. Leopards, sloth bears, gaur, dhole and many birds live here as well.
