International Tiger Day 2025: 7 Tiger Safari Spots In India To Visit This August
International Tiger Day 2025: Celebrate International Tiger Day 2025 by exploring India's lush monsoon landscapes through thrilling tiger safaris across seven top wildlife reserves
International Tiger Day 2025: As the world celebrates International Tiger Day on July 29, there's no better way to honour the majestic Bengal tiger than by stepping into its natural habitat. August, despite being part of India's monsoon season, offers a unique opportunity: lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and thrilling chances to spot tigers in the wild. Here are seven top tiger safari destinations in India that are worth exploring this month:
1. Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra
One of the few parks open year-round, Tadoba offers high tiger sighting chances even during the rains. Dense teak forests, misty trails, and active watering holes make this reserve an excellent monsoon escape for wildlife lovers.
2. Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh
Known for having the highest density of tigers in India, Bandhavgarh's buffer zones are often accessible in August. The rich vegetation and dramatic terrain add a cinematic touch to every safari drive.
3. Kanha Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh
The inspiration behind The Jungle Book, Kanha is a blend of open meadows and sal forests. While the core zones may close in peak rains, buffer areas are open and offer sightings of tigers, barasinghas, and wild boars in a rain-drenched setting.
For those seeking a quieter, offbeat experience, Satpura is ideal. Unique for offering walking safaris and canoe rides, this reserve lets you connect with the forest on foot — with occasional glimpses of elusive tigers and leopards.
5. Pench National Park, MP & Maharashtra
Another Jungle Book-inspired forest, Pench's buffer zones remain open in August. The thick foliage, vibrant birdlife, and occasional big cat sightings make this park a monsoon delight.
6. Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Kerala
Nestled in the Western Ghats, Wayanad is lesser-known for tigers but rich in biodiversity. August brings the forest alive with mist, greenery, and the possibility of spotting not just tigers, but elephants and wild gaurs.
7. Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan
While core zones usually shut during the rains, some buffer areas stay open. Ranthambore's dramatic ruins and dense vegetation during monsoon create a stunning backdrop for those lucky tiger sightings.
Pro Tip: Always check which zones are open before you go, carry rain gear, and choose experienced guides who know the terrain well.
This International Tiger Day, trade screens for safari jeeps and witness the royal cat in its rain-washed kingdom because there's nothing quite like hearing a tiger's roar echo through the wild.
