What is the best time to Visit Tadoba?
Tadoba remains close from 1st July till 30th September (3 months) due to monsoon season. The park reopens on 1st October & then remains open till 30th June (9 months).
October till January is usually a winter time here & whole jungle looks lush green. This is one of the recommended time to click best wildlife photographs.
Season changes from February as temperature starts rising in central India. So February till June end is hot summer season where the chances of sighting a tiger & other mammals becomes more easy due to lack of water.
Tadoba has specific number of safari vehicles from each entry gate. These safaris are available for booking 120 days prior. Due to popularity amongst wildlife lovers across the world, these safaris get sold out within no time. So I highly recommend my guests to plan Tadoba Tour minimum 90 days prior to get confirm safari permits. Unlike other leisure holiday destinations, it is not possible to get bookings at Tadoba at last moment.
