Zari Gate is one of the six core entry gates of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, along with Moharli, Kolara and the other core gates. It is the closest core gate to Chandrapur, roughly 35 km away near Pimpal Khunt village, and leads into the Kolsa side of the core with fewer vehicles than Moharli. Like the rest of Tadoba, the forest here is teak and bamboo with meadows and water holes, and tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, gaur and many birds are seen.
Book core safaris on mytadoba.mahaforest.gov.in, up to 120 days ahead. The core is closed on Tuesdays. Core entry times are 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM in October, and 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM from November to February. Check your permit for the gate and allow travel time from your lodge.
