Best way to reach Tadoba is to take a flight to Nagpur and then a cab from there. You can have the tour/safari operator arrange a cab for you which will take you to the MTDC resort/Guest house. The cab will take about 2 hours to reach. You will find open cast coal mines on the way, stop over to have a look if you wish to.

 

 

Main Attractions

Tigers and much more!

Tadoba has an abundance of wildlife, while Tigers hold the center stage, you will find crocodiles in the lake, Sambhar, Deer, Bison/Gaur, Peacocks, hundreds of varieties of birds, Fox, Wild Dogs, Rabbits, Monkeys, Baboons, Bears, Barking Deer, Cheetals, Jngle cats, Wild Pigs etc. We found monitor lizards as well!

 




Time to Visit

Best time is at the peak of summer. This is if you can stand the extreme heat for the love of the Royal beast. The heat draws these animals towards the water holes and its very common to find Tigers and their cubs thronging them. The other seasons except monsoons are also good times with a slightly lesser percentage of sightings but substantial, if climate really matters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Places to Stay

M.T.D.C. resort in Tadoba. Bookings need to be made in advance. These are nearest to the gate form where the Jeep Safaris begin. The resort and the safari can be booked through tour operators who are quite reliable. There are places to stay a little further off, MTDC would still be the best bet we would say!

 

 

Food

A little bit of a dampener, Tadoba has just the MTDC resort for food and the quality of which is at the mercy of the contractors. Carry as much of your own stuff especially in case if you are a little fussy about food. Water, packaged snacks and soft drinks can be bought from the MTDC canteen. Nagpur the main City nearby is famous for quite a few delicacies, you will find quite a few places which offer food, gratifying your taste buds. You may wish to take back Santra Barfi from Haldirams for your friends and family.
