The Grasslands of Navegaon and the Lakes of Tadoba

Whenever we talk about the Navegaon Core, we are referring to that vibrant zone accessed through the Kolara, Khutwanda, and Moharli gates. Entering from Navegaon reveals vast, breathtaking grasslands that bear a striking resemblance to the African Savanna — which is precisely why it is affectionately known as the "Maasai Mara of Tadoba." From here, you can journey deeper into key areas like Pandharpauni, the Kolara region, the scenic Tadoba Lake, and even cross over into the Moharli region. The historical legacy of the Navegaon Core has long been defined by the iconic tigress Maya. Today, we watch with fascination as the bloodline of Choti Tara carries that legacy forward. The dominant force in this territory is a majestic female named Bijli, who shares the domain with a prominent male tiger known as Mowgli. As you venture further, the landscape transitions into the territory of Roma, which eventually leads into the Collarwali area on the Moharli side. This sector serves as the final gateway to the Tadoba Core, framing the northern frontier of the reserve. It has always been an incredibly vibrant and dynamic ecosystem, thanks in no small part to the presence of Chota Matka — a name synonymous with the Navegaon zone that simply cannot be overlooked. For wildlife photographers, this entire region is an absolute paradise. The sweeping grasslands become a bustling haven for birds of prey after the winter months. Look for the elusive Fish Eagle, the striking Brown Fish Owl, the ethereal Paradise Flycatcher, and a spectacular variety of other raptors. The Navegaon Core is a masterful blend of legendary tiger dynasties and a flourishing avian wonderland. Best to book this package 120 days in advance.
