Portrait of Tadoba National Park

The Tadoba-Andhari National Park in the central Indian state of Maharashtra has gained massive popularity in the last few years after tiger sightings rose exponentially thanks to effective protective measures. Today, Tadoba offers a good chance of spotting the king of the jungle. The tropical climate with mild winters makes a visit in winter very pleasant in contrast to the more northern parks. The documentary Wild India by National Geographic was filmed in Tadoba.
