About Melghat Tiger Reserve

Melghat Tiger Reserve is located in the Satpura mountain range of central India and covers an area of over 1,600 sq km. It is one of the earliest tiger reserves declared under Project Tiger and plays a crucial role in tiger conservation in Maharashtra.

The reserve is dominated by dry deciduous forests, teak trees, bamboo groves, and deep ravines carved by rivers such as the Tapti and Khandu. Apart from Royal Bengal Tigers, Melghat is home to leopards, sloth bears, Indian gaur, wild dogs (dhole), sambar, barking deer, and over 300 bird species.

Melghat is also culturally significant, with several tribal villages (Korku tribe) living in and around the forest. The region offers a peaceful and raw jungle experience, making it ideal for wildlife lovers, photographers, and eco-tourists.
