by DIONNE BUNSHA in the FRONTLINE magazine

The tiger reserve in Maharashtra is still relatively unknown to the tourist. A visitor can spend many undisturbed hours observing fauna....IN the heart of the central Indian wilderness is a lesser-known tiger reserve. Tadoba
Located in the eastern corner of the state of Maharashtra and in the geographic centre of India in the district of Chandrapur, it is home to nearly 100 Royal Bengal Tigers. A protected area since 1955, the Tadoba National Park became a tiger reserve in 1995.

The Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary |
|
|
Royal reserve :: The Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary
IT is perhaps the only wildlife sanctuary in the world that owes its name to a tree. The Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary, nestled in the Western Ghats of Kollam district in Kerala, takes its name from the Chengurinji (Gluta travancorica), a towering hardwood tree endemic to the sanctuary. Chengurunji got corrupted to Shendurney and a became the name of a major river running through these jungles. Much later, in 1984, when the sanctuary was constituted, it was also given the same name.
Best period to visit: October to May. |

Be prepared to see more than birds, and there are plenty of those too, if you are planning to visit the Sur Sarovar Bird Sanctuary. TANUSHREE PODDER in the pages of THE HINDU newspaper.
All around us, within the forest, are umpteen winged friends, warbling in different tones.
About 30 minutes later we turn into the Sur Sarovar Bird Sanctuary, with lofty hopes of catching some migratory birds in action. |
