Maharashtra   (View All Batches)

Overview

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Pandharkawda and watered by a great many streams and rivers, this surprisingly green piece of a hundred and fifty square kilometers of dense forest is almost like an oasis, as the lands surrounding Tipeshwar are parched and dry. There is a good chance you haven't heard of this isolated wildlife sanctuary, far away from the more famous reserves around Nagpur. There's also a good chance you will visit the sanctuary once you read on!


What to expect?

The stark contrast between Tipeshwar's landscapes is what truly makes this hidden oasis stand out. Having almost 18 different tigers spread around an area of 150 sq km, Tipeshwar guarantees you unforgettable encounters with India's most beloved feline. Being a hitherto undiscovered gem, Tipeshwar is a safe haven for the tiger. We will be the tracking the iconic Pilkhan, Four Mark, and Taalabwali families, along with the legendary Star Male! Explore the vistas with our experienced team, as we take 4 safaris into the wild. Our local guide and drivers along with Beyond Wild's on camp mentors have been tracking these tigers for many years and their intimate knowledge about the reserve, the tigers' movement patterns, their preferred routes would all come handy (in the absence of alarm calls). Tipeshwar is small, unassuming and yet magical!

Come, let's be amazed!

Post-safari, an in-house recap session on the day's sightings and photography and dinner would follow.

We spend another full day in the jungle and in process undertake two safari drives. Overnight, we would have had gathered information about the overall tiger movement and the first two hours in the morning are ideal for tracking tigers (and hopefully getting one in action). We shall explore the landscapes of all the zones and in the process get some wonderful sightings. After a hard days' of safaring through those bumpy jungle paths, we come back to the resort for a steaming hot cuppa, some games, some sessions and a lot of fun!

Day 3
Morning safari. Drive back to Nagpur. Tour ends.

After one last safari in this pretty jungle, we come back for one last lunch before heading toward Nagpur. Long handshakes and warm hugs later, we part ways for the time being, but the many pictures and memories would keep us together for a long time.
