Tadoba is open throughout the year. However, in the monsoon months July 1st to October 15th, the reserve has fewer forest permits than the other months. Some routes may also close during this period in the case of heavy rains.

If opting for safaris in the core zone of Tadoba, the permit bookings need to be processed 120 days in advance, hence, we recommend the guests to book at least 180 days / 6 months before arrival date, this helps us obtain the permits as well as ensure availability of rooms on a confirmed basis.

Although there is no age regulation by the forest authorities, we recommend children above age 5 to participate in the jungle safaris. Babies, younger kids and pregnant women should avoid the jeep safaris owing to possibility of jerky terrain and hot weather/dust conditions.

Yes, we believe in the convenience of end-to-end packages, and most of our guests opt for packages that include airport pick-up & drop-off, accommodation, all meals and jungle safaris.

Off road driving, getting down from vehicles, use of flash photography is strictly prohibited. DO NOT gather any forest property; take only photographs for your memories – hunting, and poaching is illegal and will be reported to Forest Authorities

We request guests to refrain from tipping any individual staff at the lodge. In case you wish to show your appreciation in the form of tipping, a tip box has been placed in the main arrival lounge. The tip collected is shared between the non-managerial team members. Please note however that the naturalists, forest guides and jeep drivers are not part of the common tipping and may be tipped directly. Our property does not levy a service charge.
