Tourists to be banned in Tadoba tiger reserve’s core areas for 3 months with eye on monsoon
Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra will close its core areas to tourists from June 30 to September 30. The closure is an annual measure intended to ensure wildlife conservation and visitor safety during the monsoon season.
Why it matters
Seasonal closures are critical for maintaining biodiversity and protecting fragile ecosystems during peak breeding and weather-sensitive periods.
Visitors will not be allowed inside the core areas of the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra from June 30 to September 30, with forest officials asserting that the annual monsoon closure is necessary for wildlife conservation and tourist safety. Chief Conservator of Forests and Field Director P. N. Shukla said on Tuesday (June 2, 2026) that all buffer tourism gates and buffer tourism areas will remain open for visitors during this period, though it will depend on weather conditions and administrative instructions issued from time to time. The core areas will remain out of bounds for tourists between June 30 and September 30 during the rainy season. The move is aimed at wildlife conservation and the safety of visitors, said officials.
