Last chance! 5 tiger safaris to experience in India before the wildlife season ends in June

With most of India’s tiger reserves preparing to close during the monsoon, wildlife enthusiasts are entering the final weeks of this safari season. Summer may be scorching, but it is also one of the best times to spot tigers as animals gather around shrinking water sources. From legendary forests in central India to riverine landscapes in the north, these reserves offer some of the country’s most rewarding tiger experiences before the rains take over.

2/6

Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh

Bandhavgarh is one of India’s most popular tiger reserves for good reasons. This park enjoys a lot of fame due to its high likelihood of witnessing tigers, especially during late summer as the dry climate draws all sorts of animals to the water holes. As far as tiger reserves go, the Tala circuit is among the most recommended circuits in the whole country. Apart from the tiger population, it boasts of breathtaking scenery marked by cliffs, bamboo forests, and Bandhavgarh Fort.

3/6

Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan

Ranthambore offers one of India’s most fascinating wildlife locations; where you can see tigers wandering about in the ancient ruins, the lakes, and arid forests surrounding a historical fort. The landscape within Ranthambore will make any wildlife tour spectacular simply by itself, even if no animals have been sighted on your tour. This place is perfect for summer tours since tigers usually come out into the open during this period near some lakes like Padam Talao and Rajbagh. It is also great for those tourists who want a comfortable wildlife adventure in a well-developed tourism destination that can offer a luxurious holiday experience.

4/6

Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh

There are few wildlife reserves in India that are as pretty as Kanha. Kanha is also known for its never-ending meadows, dense sal forest, and high levels of biodiversity. Kanha Reserve is also one of the very few places in the world where the rare hard-ground barasingha deer species is found. Summer tours in this park promise much due to increased predator activity near waterholes.

5/6

Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand

India’s oldest national park continues to attract tourists with its combination of wildlife and Himalayan views. As opposed to the dry forests found in central India, Corbett’s landscape features river beds, meadows, dense forest cover, and foot-hills, which create a completely different kind of safari experience. The Dhikala area is still the most popular area amongst wildlife lovers. With the onset of summer, the movement of tigers becomes more frequent along riversides and forest openings, making tiger sighting easy. There are numerous birding and elephant sighting opportunities at Corbett

6/6

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra

Within a few years, Tadoba has emerged as one of the most preferred reserves in India for photography and seasoned safari goers. Noted for daytime tiger sightings and open areas, this reserve has gained immense popularity for its excellent tiger sightings. This reserve becomes a hub of wildlife during summer months. It is common to see tigers basking along the banks of lakes or muddy pools in an effort to escape the heat
