There is a place called as Tadoba in Maharashtra that never disappoints and at the drop of the hat, we chalked out our Tadoba sojourn
BHPian abirnale recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Since last year’s successful trip to Tadoba, we have been looking for all kind of opportunities to do safaris. On my work travel, I tried to do about 9 different Tipeshwar Safaris, Multiple Bandipur and BRT safaris to no avail. It’s been frustrating – at times felt like I am now out of my luck!
But then we recalled – there is a place called as Tadoba in MH that never disappoints And at the drop of the hat, we chalked out our Tadoba sojourn. Since the daughter (exams) and wifey (trekking in Himalayas with her girl gang) were unavailable, it was a even more simpler travel plan – me and my son went out for the boys week-out!
We secured the bookings into Zari Core, Zari Peth Buffer and Mamla Buffer zones of Tadoba. With some more effort and tertiary connections, we secured a VIP booking at premium in Moharli too! The greed to see big cat out in the open is never going to reduce – we thought if boys are anyway going to Tadoba, why not go another 250kms ahead as well as see what Pench has in offer for us!
Bangalore – Tadoba – Bangalore: The plan
- May 1: BLR To Tadoba Drive (1050 Kms To Chillarwar farms – run by a good friend)
- May 2: Afternoon Safari in Zari Core
- May 3: Morning Safari in Moharli, Afternoon Safari in Zari Peth
- May 4: Morning Safari in Mamla Buffer, Evening drive to Pench – Turiya zone. Stayed at Pench Tiger Home
- May 5: Morning Safari in Khursapar Core Zone of MH section, Evening Safari at Turiya core zone of MP section
- May 6: Straight drive back to BLR (about 1250 Kms)
We had the best breakfast in Pench – Khursapar safari – parking Gypsy in the rest area marked as such, spread over the gypsy bonnet and enjoying the food in jungle!
This trip is something I am unable to justify in the words. So I would complete the post with some pictures, some clips for my readers to look at:
TBC – some more pics.
