Melghat

Melghat Tiger Reserve is located in the Amaravati district of Maharashtra. Melghat Tiger Reserve is located on the southern offshoot of the Satpura Hill Range in Central India, called Gavilgarh Hill. It was established as a wildlife sanctuary in 1967, and was declared a tiger reserve in 1974. It was among the first nine tiger reserves notified in 1973-74 under Project Tiger, a wildlife conservation project initiated in India in 1972 to protect Bengal tigers. It was the first tiger reserve of Maharashtra. It is still one of the biggest tiger reserves in the country in terms of area. The name ‘Melghat’ means the confluence of various ‘ghats’ or valleys as is typical from the landscape of this tiger Reserve.

Apart from Tigers the other prominent animals are Sloth Bear, Indian Gaur, Sambar deer, Leopard, Nilgais, etc. The endangered and ‘back from extinction’ Forest Owlet is also found in various areas of Melghat. This will be our main attraction and lifer for many of us.

Tourism in Melghat is distributed along 4 centers/villages. Semadoh, Chikhaldara, Harisal & Shahnur. Along with the wildlife we will have a unique opportunity to explore one of the beautiful fort called Narnala in one of our safaris. The safaris here would give you lot of opportunities to shift from Telescoping lens to Wide Angle Lenses.

Lets visit the first national park of the state during Christmas time before we say goodbye to year 2022. This will be a trip for wildlife enthusiasts as well as driving enthusiasts. Plan is to drive down to Melghat but to do all the safaris in Gypsies!
