Overview
Well known as the ‘Land of Tigers’ Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is one of the finest Tiger Reserves in India. The word 'Tadoba' has been derived from the name of the local deity "Tadoba" or "Taru," who was said to be killed by a tiger while "Andhari" is derived from the name of the Andhari river that flows through the reserve.
If it is the tiger that you are after, then Tadoba might just be your best bet! Located in the wildlife-rich region of central India, this bamboo-dominated forest is the perfect abode for the world's largest big cat. The reserve provides a safe habitat to a varied flora and fauna and is also seen as a ‘maternity ward’ for tigers – which then disperse to the surrounding Sanctuaries and Tiger Reserves.
Prominent tree species found here include Ain, Arjun, Bhera, Mahua, Salai, Tendu etc. Majority of the reserve harbours bamboo, a keystone species which plays an important role in the life cycle of Tadoba. In absence of extensive meadows, bamboo forms an important food source for the herbivores in the forest and the perfect ambush point for the larger carnivores.
The reserve harbours a rich diversity of fauna comprising a total of 62 species of mammals, over 250 species of birds, 174 species of butterflies and 34 species of reptiles. Apart from the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger, the forest is also home to several other species such as Leopard, Dhole, Gaur, Sambar, Chital, Chausingha, Sloth Bear etc.
