Tadoba Andhari national park
Often referred to as "The Jewel of Vidharba",
the Tadoba National Park lies in the district of
Chandrapur in the north-eastern part of
Maharashtra.
Located in the heart of a reserved forest, it is
an infinite treasure trove of innumerable
species of trees and plants - and wildlife that
includes tigers, panthers, sloth bears, hyenas,
jackals, wild dogs, bison, barking deer, nil gai,
sambar, and cheatal.
In fact, the Tadoba National Park and Andhari
Wildlife Santuary together form the Tadoba-
Andhari Tiger Reserve. The park derives its
name from "Taru" the local deity, whereas the
Andhari river that meanders through the forest
gives the sanctuary its name.
