TADOBA-ANDHARI TIGER RESERVE
Under India's Project Tiger directorate, this little-explored national park - with a healthy population of Bengal ti-
gers - lies 150km south of Nagpur. Less visited than most other forests in India, this is a place where you can get
up close with wildlife (which also includes gaurs, chitals, nilgais and sloth bears) without having to jostle past
truckloads of shutter-happy tourists. The trade-off is that you'll have to make do with basic amenities and low
comfort levels. The park remains open through most of the year.
The
MTDC Resort
( 9822713201; d without/with AC ?1645/1996; ) in nearby Moharli has decent
rooms and dining facilities, though bring your own mosquito net. The resort can arrange jungle safaris in jeeps
and minibuses. Bookings can be made at the MTDC's Nagpur office. If you're travelling in groups of six or more,
MTDC can arrange an all-inclusive overnight package out of Nagpur, which takes care of logistical hassles.
Several state buses ply the road between Nagpur and Chandrapur through the day (?124, 3½ hours).
