id=\"Tiger_Safari_in_Tadoba_National_Park\"><\/span><strong>Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I had amazing wildlife sightings on both, the morning and the amazing offbeat night safaris which I took in Tadoba National Park. They say, it is easier to spot a wild tiger in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, a hidden gem of <strong>Central India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had always wanted to find it out. But somehow a visit to Tadoba always eluded me. Finally, the stars aligned and Tadoba beckoned me. I explored the core zone of Tadoba with my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/thrillingtravel.in\/about-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ami Bhat<\/a> who is also one of the best travel bloggers in India. We explored Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve from the Khutwanda Gate during morning jeep safari and the buffer zone in the offbeat Navegaon Ramdegi Gate for exciting night safari. The tiger density is so high in Tadoba National Park, that it is common to spot tigers on even the tarmac roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_see_a_tiger_in_Tadoba_National_Park_Wildlife_Sighting_Predictions\"><\/span><strong>Can I see a tiger in Tadoba National Park: Wildlife Sighting Predictions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How likely is it to see a tiger in Tadoba?<\/li><li>Can we see tigers in Tadoba National Park?<\/li><li>What are my chances of seeing tiger in Tadoba?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions clouded my mind as I woke up at the auspicious <strong><em>Brahma Muhurat<\/em><\/strong> of 4 a.m. at the luxurious Waghoba Eco Lodges by Pugdundee Safaris. This sprawling property next to the core zone of Tadoba is a destination in itself. Why would anyone want to leave it and go elsewhere. Had it not been the love for <strong>all things wild<\/strong>, I would have just stayed back and enjoyed the property. But, we couldn\u2019t wait to hop on to the jeep when it arrived at the reception of Waghoba Eco Lodge. The colours of sunrise splashed across the sky made the <em>Brahma Muhurat<\/em> all the more ethereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"438\" data-src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Royal-Bengal-tiger-Panthera-tigris-tigris-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg\" alt=\"Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park\" class=\"wp-image-18379 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Royal-Bengal-tiger-Panthera-tigris-tigris-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Royal-Bengal-tiger-Panthera-tigris-tigris-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh-300x188.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/438;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"438\" src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Royal-Bengal-tiger-Panthera-tigris-tigris-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg\" alt=\"Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park\" class=\"wp-image-18379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Royal-Bengal-tiger-Panthera-tigris-tigris-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Royal-Bengal-tiger-Panthera-tigris-tigris-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked Ami to dramatically close her eyes and tell me what and how many animals are we going to see in today\u2019s morning <strong>jeep safari<\/strong> in Tadoba? She played along and confidently said, \u201c1 mother tiger and two cubs.\u201d Till this happened, the art of predicting wildlife sightings with precision and accuracy was mastered only by our common friend Divyakshi Gupta, also a top travel blogger from India. \u201cWe will see a Rhinoceros and a baby\u201d, Divyakshi said as we explored <strong>Chitwan National Park<\/strong> in the <strong><em>terai<\/em> region<\/strong> of beautiful <strong>Nepal<\/strong>. Just when we lost all hope of any good sighting and were leaving Chitwan National Park, we saw exactly that. A rhino and a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see if Ami is giving stiff competition to Divyakshi here? Will her predictions come true? We will find out in this comprehensive blog to Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park which is based on my own experience of a jeep safari here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"613\" data-src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tiger-jeep-safari-in-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-Khutwanda-Gate.jpg\" alt=\"Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park\" class=\"wp-image-18297 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tiger-jeep-safari-in-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-Khutwanda-Gate.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tiger-jeep-safari-in-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-Khutwanda-Gate-300x263.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/613;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"613\" src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tiger-jeep-safari-in-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-Khutwanda-Gate.jpg\" alt=\"Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park\" class=\"wp-image-18297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tiger-jeep-safari-in-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-Khutwanda-Gate.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tiger-jeep-safari-in-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-Khutwanda-Gate-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Shaheen, Ami and me during Tiger Safari in Tadoba National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spotting_Tigers_in_Jamni_Lake_of_Tadoba_National_Park\"><\/span><strong>Spotting Tigers in Jamni Lake of Tadoba National Park<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hankering after the elusive tiger was only growing. Though I had not done a jeep safari here yet, but I was optimistic about my chances of spotting a wild Tiger in Tadoba National Park. I had read several personal accounts of people who were successful in spotting several tigers in Tadoba National Park, especially in summer. Since I explored Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve on 11<sup>th<\/sup> June, the peak of <strong>North Indian summer<\/strong>, I was very hopeful for the sighting of Tiger.

As we were busy locking eyes with the chitals, we rushed towards a large open field when we saw a row of safari jeeps queued up, frantically burying their noses beneath the binoculars. With naked eyes and the maximum reach of my zoom lens, I could see only <strong>aquatic birds<\/strong> such as <strong>Asian open bill storks<\/strong>, <strong>Red Naped Ibis<\/strong> and many <strong>whistling ducks<\/strong> in the foreground of the dense tall grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\"><strong><em>Soul Window Suspense<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>The suspense was building up, as my naturalist said she <strong>saw a tiger<\/strong> there. \u201cThere, right behind the tall grass.\u201d, she said.

Which Tiger in Tadoba National Park is the most famous? Since many years, Maya, the fierce tigress has earned the nickname of the undisputed \u201cQueen of Tadoba National Park\u201d. In fact, Maya is one of the reasons why Tadoba National Park became so famous with wildlife enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is Maya tigress famous? There are many reasons behind the larger-than-life fame of Maya. What makes Maya the most famous tigress of Tadoba National Park is her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Smartness<\/li><li>Intelligence<\/li><li>Fearlessness<\/li><li>Fierce behaviour<\/li><li>Presence of mind<\/li><li>Immense patience<\/li><li>Public territorial fights<\/li><li>Unmatched hunting skills<\/li><li>Mock Mating with male tigers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Love_Story_of_Maya\"><\/span><strong>Love Story of Maya<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maya lives up to her name which means illusion. She creates an illusion of love while mock mating with other male tigers. What makes Maya world famous is the fact that ever since she attained adulthood, she started to attract attention of almost all the male tigers of Tadoba National Park who famously began venturing into her territory. During the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/night-safari-in-tadoba-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18480\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">night safari in the buffer zone of Navegaon Ramdegi Gate<\/a><\/strong>, we indulged in some <strong>fresh tiger gossips<\/strong> involving Maya over our packed dinner of Kathi Rolls, muffins, cookies and lemonade. Waghoba Eco Lodge had arranged for the same. Shaheen told us some juicy insider information on the \u2018Queen\u2019 Maya and her famous suitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not uncommon to see Maya doing mock mating or just being spotted with 2-3 different male tigers in a single day. She mock mates with male tigers mostly to protect her cubs. She had lost her first litter of cubs after which she devised a strategy to allow other tigers to come near her. The mind games that Maya plays has been understood by humans but not by other male tigers. Thanks to her smart dealing with the male tigers, the other tigresses in the neighbouring territories have found it easier to rear their cubs without too much attention from male tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been observed by the experts that the tigresses whether they have litter or not, usually mate with different male tigers due to high tiger density which Tadoba national Park is known for or when they have overlapping territories with more than one tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maya has had a tough life. Maya was unfortunately separated from her mother <strong>Leela<\/strong> at a young age due to the untimely death of the latter. This left her vulnerable to the perils of the jungle. But the adversities also made her strong and prepared for her impending queenhood. Born in December 2010 in the Tadoba\u2019s <strong>Pandharpaoni<\/strong> area, she had three sisters and 1 brother. Maya seized control of her mother Leela\u2019s territory after she passed away. Ever since, she has been ruling Tadoba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong><em>Soul Window Moments<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>Our naturalist Shaheen told me that Maya is known for faking mating with other tigers. For example, she was seen faking sex with male tiger <strong>Rudra <\/strong>in the<strong> Pandharpaoni <\/strong>area, while <strong>Balram<\/strong>, who is much younger than her and is the father of their cubs, takes care of the litter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>This was a revelation because I had no idea that male tigers do parenting as well. Some perplexed tourists had noticed Balram moving around with cubs at the huge Tadoba lake. This strange but smart behaviour of Maya indeed is the talk of the town, or jungle, eh! We burst into laughter when Shaheen said that Rudra was like the <strong>clingy boyfriend<\/strong> who refused to leave Maya alone, despite many days of mock mating. The other tigers Maya has mated with are <strong>Matkasur <\/strong>and later <strong>Gabbar<\/strong> who even fought for the right to mate with her. <strong>Tala<\/strong> and <strong>Mowgli<\/strong> are other male tigers Maya mated with.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maya is so famous that she even has a twitter handle @MayaTadoba where exciting updates on her daily life is shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_tigresses_protect_cubs\"><\/span><strong>Why tigresses protect cubs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The unrivalled skill which Maya displays in managing the male tigers is a matter of study. The unusual sexual behaviour of Maya, which has a history of mating with several males has left the experts with more questions than answers. Besides protecting the cubs from <strong><em>dholes<\/em><\/strong> or <strong>wild dogs<\/strong> and <strong>leopards<\/strong>, the tigresses have to hide them from male tigers too, who may kill the babies for various reasons. The tigresses take immense care of the cubs till the age of two after which the cubs separate from the mother, searching for their own territories. There have also been <strong>instances in Tadoba<\/strong> when a tigress has given birth to cubs even when the earlier litter has not separated from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"525\" data-src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wildlife-photography-Tiger-Jeep-Safari-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18303 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wildlife-photography-Tiger-Jeep-Safari-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wildlife-photography-Tiger-Jeep-Safari-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-300x263.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/525;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"525\" src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wildlife-photography-Tiger-Jeep-Safari-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wildlife-photography-Tiger-Jeep-Safari-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra.jpg 600w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wildlife-photography-Tiger-Jeep-Safari-Tadoba-National-Park-Maharashtra-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Experience_of_wildlife_Safari_in_Tadoba_National_Park\"><\/span><strong>My Experience of wildlife Safari in Tadoba National Park<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate through the lush green forests of Tadoba National Park, I witnessed the captivating biodiversity on this wild adventure.

How did it climb up this photo frame in the middle of the wall?\u201d, I asked him when suddenly the 3-4 frogs started moving, one even jumped atop the other. The tree frogs looked like clay figures. Known as the <strong>Indian tree frog<\/strong> <em>(Polypedates maculatus)<\/em> or Chunam tree frog, they are also found in other <strong>South Asian countries<\/strong> such as <strong>Bhutan<\/strong>, <strong>Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar<\/strong> and even parts of <strong>China<\/strong>. As I noticed on another wall of the reception of Waghoba Eco Lodge, it is easy for the Indian tree frog to climb on the top of the tall walls like lizards. Thanks to their webbed feet, they are able to climb walls with ease. Measuring only about 7\u20138 centimetres, I found them to be very agile, slimy and translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spotting_Indian_Gaur_in_Tadoba_National_Park\"><\/span><strong>Spotting Indian Gaur in Tadoba National Park<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first animal which I saw during the safari in Tadoba National Park was a large herd of Gaur. The cute sight of a Gaur mother breastfeeding her new born calf stayed with me for a long time. The highly muscular body of the male Gaur looked menacing. But I guess they are merely <strong>gentle giants<\/strong> and shy of humans. Gaurs are harmless unless threatened. The male gaur with a large dewlap and a distinctive dorsal ridge appeared huge and very powerful. There were more females than males in the herd of gaurs which I saw. During the morning safari organised by Waghoba Eco Lodges, Pugdundee Safaris in Tadoba National Park, I also noticed some male gaurs living a solitary life. Their primordial raw power of the male gaur has few parallels. The female gaurs are comparatively smaller in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Indian-Bison-or-Gaur-Bos-gaurus-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18354 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Indian-Bison-or-Gaur-Bos-gaurus-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Indian-Bison-or-Gaur-Bos-gaurus-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/467;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"http:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Indian-Bison-or-Gaur-Bos-gaurus-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Indian-Bison-or-Gaur-Bos-gaurus-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Indian-Bison-or-Gaur-Bos-gaurus-Pench-National-Park-Turia-Karmajhiri-Madhya-Pradesh-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong><em>Soul Window Facts<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>Did you know that the Indian Gaur is the largest species of wild cattle.

Random calls made by spotted deer and <strong>Hanuman langur<\/strong> and scrutinising the roads for pugmarks of Tigers was our only success so far. Till we had our Tiger moment, we appreciated other flora and fauna of the vast and biodiverse Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. While we didn\u2019t get to see sloth bear <em>(Melursus ursinus)<\/em>, we saw bear claw marks on <strong><em>jamun<\/em> tree trunks<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s mid-June and no one has seen a sloth bear in Tadoba National Park, this year.\u201d, said Shahin matter-of-factly to keep my expectations low when I enquired about the chances of spotting one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear or no bear, Tadoba is teaming with wildlife. In the pursuit of spotting a Royal Bengal Tiger, we ended up seeing many other species of birds and animals such as <strong>Grey jungle fowl, Red spurfowl, yellow footed green pigeons, Indian Roller, Chital, Marsh Crocodile<\/strong> and even a dancing peacock. <strong>It was the first time<\/strong> when I saw a dancing peacock in wild so closely.

I saw them 2-3 times. My mistake was that I thought, I will take their pictures after I see the tiger, but they never appeared again. Sightings are unpredictable in a jungle. This is why, we must click shots as and when you can. I also got a great view of many Sambar deer drinking water and relaxing by a small pond. They were pretty close to us. My wandering eyes rested on a full-grown male sambar. He does not flee or flinch.It was an unusual sight when I compare it to the fleeting glimpses of <em>sambar<\/em> I saw elsewhere such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/a-tiger-free-wildlife-safari-to-satpura-national-park-madhya-pradesh-incredible-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9646\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Satpura National Park<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/asoulwindow.com\/my-first-tiger-safari-budget-trip-to-bandhavgarh-national-park-madhya-pradesh-incredible-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9815\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandhavgarh National Park<\/a><\/strong>, both in <strong>Madhya Pradesh<\/strong>, the official <strong>tiger paradise<\/strong>.

In fact, we started from <strong>Khutwanda gate<\/strong> and reached <strong>Moharli gate<\/strong> area via <strong>Kolsa Gate<\/strong>, so it doesn\u2019t really make much difference. The gates are interconnected and can be easily accessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best zone for tiger sighting in Tadoba depends on a lot of factors. We had amazing tiger sighting at Khutwanda Zone while we didn\u2019t see much near the Moharli gate. It all depends on the day and the recent movement of the tigers.

Morning and evening are the best time to spot a tiger in a jeep safari. What time is tiger most active? Tigers are very active during the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Summer is the best time to visit Tadoba National Park to spot Tigers because the tigers stay close to water body due to extreme heat. However, having said that, my friends have had amazing tiger sightings in winter months such as January as well. In summer, the tigers sit in or around the water body to keep themselves cool. Therefore, the probability of spotting a tiger in wild is a bit higher in summer.<\/p>\n<p>The shade of the wet green land must have been comforting for Bijli and her two cubs in the extreme heat of <strong>Vidarbha region<\/strong> of <strong>Maharashtra<\/strong> in <strong>West India<\/strong>. Located in the Chandrapur District, Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve can get very hot in mid-June, also the time when I visited. But then the hotter it is, the better it is to spot a tiger in wild. No wonder, I had seen 6 tigers in a day in <strong>Ranthambore National Park<\/strong> during peak summer. But then Ranthambore is also touristy unlike Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, which also happens to be one of the oldest and largest national parks of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maharashtratourism.gov.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maharashtra<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1688737278204\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_chances_of_sighting_tiger_in_Tadoba_National_Park\"><\/span><strong>What are the chances of sighting tiger in Tadoba National Park?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Can we see tiger in Tadoba? Yes, of course. You too can spot tigers in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (in short TATR) like I did. In fact, Tadoba National Park is one of the best <strong>tiger reserves<\/strong> in India where you can spot the elusive <strong>Royal Bengal Tiger<\/strong> in its prime habitat.

Mostly <em><strong>ATR<\/strong><\/em> aircrafts ply on this route. It is a leading regional aircraft manufacturer. There are limited options for small sectors like these and the prices may go up soon. So, it is a good idea to book in advance. Sonegaon Airport is a modern airport with great facilities. You can hire a cab to Tadoba National Park, right outside the airport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Road Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The road from Nagpur to Tadoba are baby bottom smooth. In my case, <strong>Waghoba Eco Lodges<\/strong> by <strong>Pugdundee Safaris<\/strong> arranged for a cab pick-up for us. It made things easy and quick for me. Besides saving my time, it saved me and Ami from the hassle of dealing with competing cab drivers. Including a break for loo and snacks, it took us only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Tadoba National Park from Sonegaon Airport on smooth, empty roads. We even enjoyed local food on Maharashtra <em>en route<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Railway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The nearest railhead from the Tadoba National Park is located at the Chandrapur Railway Station.
