Exploring the expansive sanctuary
Spanning a vast area of 138.12 sq.km, Bor Tiger Reserve encompasses the Bor Dam's basin, enriching the sanctuary's ecological tapestry. Within its borders lies a dedicated eco-tourism zone, covering 5.21 sq.km, offering visitors a chance to connect with nature's wonders and fostering an understanding of conservation and environmental awareness. The sanctuary's protection extends to a buffer zone, featuring less dense forest, acting as a vital barrier to safeguard the core area and preserve the delicate ecosystem balance.
Bor's natural beauty
Bor Tiger Reserve thrives amidst the dry deciduous forests of the South Deccan Plateau, adorned with majestic teak, ain, tendu, and bamboo. An enchanting tapestry of herbs, including tarot, tenella, tarwar, gokhru, and vanbhendi, enhances its natural splendour. The sanctuary is a haven for diverse wildlife, including the regal Bengal tiger, elusive Indian leopard, mysterious panther, graceful sloth bears, Sambar, Chital, wild boars, Indian bison, blue bulls, peacocks, monkeys, and a vibrant avian population. Its tranquil lakes provide opportunities for fishing, offering moments of serenity and a deeper connection with nature.
