Salaam Walaikum Indiawilds..!

Nice Photograph.Rare pose,Stripes,Eyebrows,Colours captured well.

On the same breath,I have upset that Tadoba ramains open during Rains also.Even Ranthambhore is closed for a short (July-Sept )period.The Wild may be allowed to roam peacefully at least for a few months free from visitor/vehicle.
Where there is Annual Animal Migration in a vast contiguous area,part area may be kept open. I think Tadoba-Andhari does not fall within this category.Possibly Bandipur-Nagarhole-Mudumalai-Wynad Biosphere Reserve is the only stretch available in India which will come under this category.The Sundarbans is kept open throughout the year but visitors remain in Launch ,
can only land at Watch Towers outside Core Area (with one possible exception ).No problem with mostly inaccessible Kaziranga also, with reasonable migration to Mikir Hills during rains.

Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Saktipada,

You have made a valid point. However, this year, tadoba was kept open only partially. Only the main concrete raods were kept open for tourism while the mud tracks remained closed. Sorry if you already knew this,

regards
