Which forest gate is best at Tadoba National Park ?

There are Four Entry Points at Tadoba Forest, namely Moharli, Kolara, Navegaon and Kutwanda. They are different Entry Points to the Forest, though the forest area accessible from all the four entry points is the Same. These four entry points are the entry to the Core Zones of the Forest.

In addition to the Core Zones there are many Buffer Zones at Tadoba. Unlike other Forests, Tadoba is also famous for good tiger sightings in the Buffer Zones. Out of all the Zones, Moharli and Kolara are considered to be the Premium Entry Points. Also there are many good Accommodations available at this two gates.

These zone has numerous water bodies, and hence, the chances of spotting wild animals around these water bodies are more as compared to other zones. One has to be very careful in selecting the Core and Buffer zones. You have to select those zones which is close to your resort as travelling between different entry gates is not easy. They are at quite distance and you may need to travel a lot before the actual jungle safaris at Tarodba National Park. So always be careful in selecting the Jungle Safari Permits

Winters stretch from November to February; during this season, daytime temperature are in the 25°-30°C range and the park is lush green.
