Conservation Success Story

The Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) is widely regarded as one of India's biggest conservation success stories. Strict anti-poaching measures, active habitat management, and community participation have allowed the Bengal tiger population to thrive.

From a mere 43 tigers recorded in the 2010 census, the population has more than doubled, transforming Tadoba into a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts seeking guaranteed sightings in their natural habitat.

Why Moharli?

The Moharli core zone is the oldest entrance to the park and remains the epicenter for tiger sightings.

Its landscape—a perfect mix of dense bamboo thickets, open meadows, and perennial water bodies like the Tadoba Lake—creates an ideal territory for dominant tigers and breeding tigresses.
