Tadoba Jungle Safari & Resorts
History – Tadoba National Park There is a great history behind the name of Tadoba National Park. Tadoba or Taru was the name of the god of tribal people who reside in the dense Tadoba National Park region of the forest. It is believed that Taru was a chief of the village, who was killed in a legendary encounter with a tiger. After this, a shrine was made dedicated to the God Taru that exists under a huge tree and on the bank of Tadoba Lake. Likewise, ‘Andhari’ name was given due to the Andhari River that wanders through the forest. Earlier, the kings of Gond ruled this forest in the vicinage of the Chimur hills. During 1935, hunting was totally restricted, but later in the year 1955; the area of 116.54 sq. km (45.00 sq mi) was acknowledged as the Tadoba National Park . Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary was made on the next forests in 1986 and later in the year 1995, the park & the sanctuary were combined together to form present India’s 41 “Project Tiger”-Tiger Reserves.
