Wildlife Heaven

How to Reach: Chandrapur is the nearest Rail head around 30 – 40 Kms from Tadoba. Only one train is available from Mumbai for Chandrapur (Sewagram Express, Leaves Mumbai CST at 3.30 PM). One has to take a Taxi from Chandrapur (Approx. Rs. 500) as direct buses to the place are very few. Alternately one can hire a taxi from Nagpur (around 170 kms) also. Travel Tips: 1. For best sightings visit Tadoba in summer months. It’s very hot during these times but you will be rewarded with good sightings. Opt for an AC accommodation & during safaris carry plenty of water (preferably mixed with Glucon D / C), big hats to protect from sun, wear full sleeved shirts or t –shirts, binoculars, camera etc. 2. If you are really very keen on sightings stay there for at least 3 days in which you can opt for a maximum of 6 safaris. As of June 09 each round of safari costs Rs. 1300 plus around Rs. 200 to Rs. 250 entry & guides fees depending upon the no. of persons & cameras. 3. If you are not very keen on animal sightings & want to experience the Jungle during rains then Tadoba is the place as it is one of the few parks in India which remains open to visitors during monsoons. 4. Please note the park remains closed on every Tuesdays. 5. As there are very few open gypsies for safaris please book the same in advance if you are visiting the park during holidays or on weekends. Also book your accommodation in advance as there are only three options to choose from. MTDC is your best bet for accommodation. 6. While in jungle wear appropriate clothes so that it camouflages with the surroundings, talk softly, don’t litter & listen to your guide.

Destination for all wildlife lovers

This destination is solely for the nature and wildlife enthusiastic. From Nagpur one can hire taxi/ private vehicle to Tadoba. Taxies charge to and fro for this route. You have to book the safaris at least 1 month in advance, generally through the one of the hotels. Carry caps to protect yourself from the sun on the safari. It is also advisable to carry a scarf to cover your face/nose as the jungle roads can get dusty in summer.
