Hello wildlife lovers, and welcome back to another exciting video from Discover Wild Paws. The tiger reserves of India have opened now after monsoons, and we thought this was a perfect time to release a top 7 video for spotting tigers in India.
All these seven tiger reserves and even the ones not on our list are great to visit, but some have better sightings than others when it comes to tiger sighting. Each of us can have a different experience, and this ranking can be different for different people.
On Number 7 is JIM CORBETT NATIONAL PARK
This place in Ram Nagar, Uttarakhand, is synonymous with Tigers. Do you know Jim Corbett has the highest number of tigers compared to any other Tiger Reserve in India?
We recommend spending at least a night in the forest house of Dhikala Grasslands in Corbett National Park. That experience is beyond anything else offered by other Tiger Reserves in India.
Number 6 goes to Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve
The name "Tadoba" is derived from the name of God "Tadoba," or "Taru," which is praised by the local tribal people of the region, and the name "Andhari" comes from the river "Andhari" which flows in this area. According to stories from the past, "Taru" was killed in a mythological encounter with a Tiger.
Anyone who has visited Tadoba knows the tales of Matkasur and Maya, the most famous tiger and tigress of the area. Their boldness makes their sighting frequent. Matkasur is the father to a lot of tigers in the park, including the famous Chota Matka.
On Number 5 is the NAGARHOLE National Park
If you have heard about or seen the documentary on the famous black panther of Kabini, named Saaya, then you must understand why Nagarhole National Park is number 5th on our list.
You have both options in Kabini. To do a jeep safari or a boat safari.
Number 4 goes to the park which inspired "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling.
PENCH National Park. This tiger reserve is spread across two different states. A part of it is in Madhya Pradesh, near the famous town of Seoni, and the other part is in Maharashtra, famous for its Khursapur gate.
Together, both the parks have more than 80 Bengal tigers. Not only this, Pench is a great place to find leopards as well.
Even if you don't see the tiger, you can not be bored by its vibe. The famous Mataram, aka Collarwali, is from Pench. Last season, we saw her and the handsome boy L-Mark.
So you all must visit Pench and see what it feels like to do a safari in the Mowgli land.
Pench was a tough fight for number 3, but our third spot is another excellent tiger reserve in Madhya Pradesh. The park is named after an Indian God. Any guesses?
Yes, it's Kanha National Park.
Thanks to the efforts of the forest department of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha is now home to more than 130 Bengal tigers.
The closest airport to Kanha is the Jabalpur airport at around 170 km, but you can also travel via Nagpur, about 300 km.
Alternatively, one can also take a train to Gondia or Jabalpur railway station, and from there onwards take a cab or a bus to the park.
Some famous tigers from the park are Munna, Chota Munna, Bajrang, Bajrang Junior, DJ Female, Balwan
Number 2 is RANTHAMBORE National Park
Ranthambore National Park, one of India's biggest and most renowned National Parks in North India. Located in the Sawai Madhopur district, 130 km from Jaipur, this place is a major tourist attraction and has drawn the attention of many wildlife lovers and photographers. It is believed that only the unluckiest return from Ranthambore without spotting a Tiger.
Now it's time to reveal the number one tiger reserve in India BANDHAVGARH
Located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh in Central India, this park is the hotspot for tiger sightings in India.
The three main zones of the park are Tala, Khitauli, and Magadhi. And we would recommend going to all three, at least once.
To name a few famous tigers of the park, there are Spotty, Dotty, Solo, Kajri, Bheem, Chota Bheem, Bamera, Bamera son, and many more. The list is endless because it is Bandhav Garh, the temple of tigers.

For me Corbette stay and expereinace is mind-boggling and top of the wold.
Yes. It’s unbelievable and mesmerizing. ❤️🔥🙏🏻
Very proper and relaxing video to showcase these magnificent mammals..some reason got me choked up
Yes thank you
nice video, very informative.... I feel corbett at no 7 is a bit unfair to Corbett lovers..!!
We are corbett lovers too. But for tiger sightings, its a tough ground.
Still, Dhikala is unbeatable.
totally agree possibly the no 1 along with Kanha
thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful top 7 tiger parks very well picturised .
Thank you so much. ❤️🔥🙏🏻
I have seen all your videos..The way u describe the places are amazing..
Thank you Advith 🙏🏻
Thank You for the video!
🙏🏻
Very nice and informative video ❤️👍
Thank you ✌🏻❤️
Very usefull info & nice narration
Thankyou🐾❤️🔥
Very nicely explained.
Thanks
Nice information.we are planning for Ranthambore trip.
Ranthambore is amazing. Let us know if you need any help.
Awesome..👍👍
Thank you
Very nice and informative video. I have been to all 6 of the 7 in the list, except Nagarhole . Kabini is too expensive to visit.
Thanks Soumyajit. Yes. Kabini is indeed expensive.
Its been in our pipeline too for a long time. Hopefully this winter or next year.
@@DiscoverWildPaws I am going to Bandhavgarh and Satpura next week. Last winter we spotted Kajri and Dotty's cub D3 @Bandhavgarh. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
@@soumyajitsen92 Man. We envy you. Have fun brother. You are going to two great parks.
If you find Raavan in Satpura, nothing like it.
Whom do you travel with?
Impressive video and voice over...... We never had been to any safari. Planning first time with family. Please give some tips . Specially on kanha and bandhavgarh
Hey Siva. Thanks for your words. Where do you wanna visit? We can help you plan. 🙏🏻
Please make a vlog series of bandhavgarh national park
Will do. 🙏🏻❤️
Number one kaziranga.....bcz world highest density of tigers in kaziranga national park.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Visiting Bandhavgarh this November, thereafter Corbett ☺️
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
awesome video full of information, my hubby and his friends making a plan to visit Ranthambore sanctuary this year.
Thank you Ila. Wow. Let us know how the experience was. We might also go in December.
I tadoba , I have done mostly single in a jeep safari , all alone... It was amazing exp ..... 1st time Leopard , i have spotted in Tadoba, khutvanda
Wow. Great to hear your experience. Hope this continues in your future trips
I visited Tadoba, Pench, Kanha & bandhavgad in the list.. Along with I suggest Umred Karandla near Nagpur. Its very dence and lots of chances to see Tiger.
Yes Umred was rocked by Fairy and Cubs
8:16 😂😂😂😂 i am one of those unlucky persons 😂😂 had taken 4 safaris and not seen a single tiger 🐯😂😂💪🏻💪🏻🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I think Tadoba should be in top 3 along with ranthambore
Jim Corbett used to be one of the best tiger reserve in past times ...
Agreed. 🙏🏻
Kabini can deliver two good tiger sightings a day, and the lodge is up to the price. However, there are no safaris, they just do tiger drives. No one will stop for anything else.
our national animal 👑👑👑
Tiger 🙏🏻
Sir, Rudyard Kipling inspired by Kanha and Bandhavgarh and not By Pench.
If you want truly Whole jungle experience its one and Only Kanha.
Tiger sighting is not Main motives but to Experience whole Jungle experience if you want to do Safari and Kanha is best for Wholesome Jungle experience.
1 Kanha
2 Bandhavgarh
3 Corbett
4 Ramthambhore
5 Tadoba
6 Kabini
7 Pench
8 Satpura ( Churna )
You must visit Satpura and spend night at Churna FRH its much thrilling than Dhikala. Its less famous because Less tigers in Biggest wild area but Sloth Bear and Lepords sighting is almost Guaranteed. And its first ever tiger reserve which allows Walking Safari.
Wow Akki. So much perspective, so much knowledge and so much wisdom.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.
We have been to Satpura in the past but haven’t done the night stay. Will do in future.
And Kanha was on top of our list but Covid happened. So we had to cancel the bookings.
Amazing Video. Btw i live near bandhavgarh. It's beautiful is breath taking and Mesmerizing. My love for wildlife and Jungle started from there only
Indeed. Bandhavgarh is a paradise ❤️🔥
@@DiscoverWildPaws I agree💯
I've visited Jim Corbett and it was really disappointing in terms of tiger sightings. Let alone tiges, we only saw spotted deers and nothing else. Want to visit ranthambore.
"Famous tigers"
*Famous tigers ?*
The most famous of tigers are, of course, those that have the most human scalps under their belts - like the legendary "Champawat tigress" whose exploits have been immortalized by none other than the man who`d eventually managed to put an end to her bloody career as an eater of Northern indian day labourers: Colonel Jim Corbett, the English gentleman hunter turned wildlife photographer and conservationist who made a career out of hunting down man-eating tigers and leopards...and survived to tell the tale in a couple of highly readable books.
Champawat tigress was undoubtedly the most famous.
sir panna is also good.....how it recovered is a great story...bcz the forest is live n active hence the tiger could bounce back
I somehow feel for pure tiger sightings, Tadoba is higher than Kanha, Pench and definitely on par with Ranthambhore. Kanha and Pench are much better for beauty of place but for tigers i still think Tadoba is better
Tadoba is fascinating!
❤️🔥🙏🏻
I live in that district 😁, I went there 5-6 times but never saw a tiger 🥲🥲😭😭😭
Excellent audio narration to the video. The most important question to be asked how the likes of Bandhavgarh and Ranthambore, having almost identical sizes of Corbett offer that high sighting of tigers? Any scientific explanations to this?
Both are comparatively less dense than corbett and add to that the density of tigers in the tourism friendly zones.
I have been to all Parks except for Ranthambhore and Corbett, and for forest with scenery I will pick Kanha, I loved Bandhavgarh too… it was a beautiful habitat… for if I will pick a park specifically for Tiger sightings at the moment I will have to say Tadoba.
Kabini is good too, but you have less chance to see a male tiger, mostly you can see the most active two tigress and a plus point is you will see elephants and a high chance for Leopards.
I had visited "Valmiki Tiger Reserve", there i haven't saw tiger 🐯 but see some variants of Deer 🦌 , Peacocks, & Langoor.... 😂
The one in Bihar. We hope to go one day
@@DiscoverWildPaws yes .....
You should visit ...
I will not Grant that you will see Tiger ....
But i am granting you that bihar will impress you with its wibes & specially plz visit Valmiki ashram by foot 🧡🧡
No 1 sundarban seconds Ranthombor Rajasthan and don’t go with expectations of in first attempt tiger sight.
In tadoba***
🙏🏻
How to book a trip to pench or ranthambore within budget??
Been to Tadoba n RTR , now dreaming to go to Bandhavgarh and Kanha
Must visit both the parks 🙏🏻
Love your videos! Can you please tell me the change of tiger sighting at Pench in November ??
Hello Karan. Chances are good in November. How many safaris are you planning?

How to book safari for dhikhala zone of Jim Corbett
I visited Tadoba Andheri Tiger Reserve,Moharli gate....where spotted "Madhuri"....big tigress...want to go Kanha and Bandhabgarh....
Thank you for the video! Is 3 days enough for a trip to Ranthambore?
Absolutely. Good enough.
Sad you didn't have any footage or snapshots to introduce Kanha... Beauty of Sal forest is unmatchable...
Agreed. We had a trip planned but it was canceled due to Covid. We will visit in future.
How to book a safari in Bandhavgarh
Yes Bandhavgarh is open now. Please visit forest.mponline.gov.in
And click on Book Now to book.
Please visit satpura national park for amazing scenic views and tigers. UNESCO world heritage forest
We have seen Satpura. One of the most beautiful jungles in India 😍👌🏻
We're planning to visit Ranthambore in few days. Can we rely on On Spot Booking and what about zone availability. Can you please help
Because Ranthambore is very famous, its hard to get booking on the spot. One way to do that is by using current booking option. But for that, you have to pay 10k extra
Tadoba ,Maharashtra 💪
❤️🔥
month of jan 30 whats ur recomandation kanha or bandhavgarh
Kanha! ❤️🔥
what about Periyar National park my dear? Have you heard about?
Yes. Beautiful park.
Kindly visit Sunderbans
Will do
Spot booking for safari at tadoba can possible
If available, yes.
Sorry to say ..
I'm so disappointed you haven't named about sundarban..
Apologies Sukanta you felt that way. We understand Sunderbans is one of the best places in India to see the tiger and definitely on our go-to list. But as mentioned in the video, the list can change from person to person and depends on many aspects.
We promise a series on Sunderbans in the future.
Sorry to say but just by names bengal before tiger and famous Sundarbans can't make it to top
Ironically it has less tigers and is now polluted and also has border disputes many reasons that made it loose it unique value and beauty hope we can restore its glory again
What is Your opinion about Bandipur tiger reserve? we will have only 2weeks in India, so the plan is to stay in Goa and then to visit Kerala state and Bandipur tiger reserve.
Hi Veronika.
Thanks for your comment. Bandipur is certainly great, as good as Kabini. Better for leoprd sightings compared to tiger sightings, but overall a great park.
Just ensure you go with the right guide/driver.
Also wanted to suggest that if you’re going to take a flight from Goa, you can also consider Tadoba.
Anyway that depends on your port of exit and other plans. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Btw, Bandipur is more like an extension of Kabini so you can do that as well.
Nice video I’m planning to visit nagerhole tiger can u help me to plan
Absolutely! ❤️🔥
I am last time visit January Jimcorbett Dikala Beautiful & Lovely Place So I am plan this February go to Ranthambore plz any one asked right time visit Ranthambore….
February is a great time to go to Ranthambore. ❤️
Is satpura good for leopard and bear sightings ? we are thinking to plan a 2 day trip satpura and then to bandhavgarh I saw your video of Satpura can you pls guide me
Yes. Satpura is decent for leopard and bear sighting. But if you really want to see leopards, we suggest Jhalana and Jawai.
We have a plan of jawai to ranthambore and then to jhalna in may
What is the price for safari in bandhavgarh and how to book at 4500 for 6 people ?? Because agents are telling around 7000 can you pls make a video on how to book
Also of pench
You named every famous tiger in kanha except the king umarpani one of the biggest male tiger in India
It's not Nagar hole .. It is pronounced as "NagaraHoLey .." ... "L" (pronounced by tongue touching top roof of your mouth 😉😉)
The cost part is true. It is highly priced compared to other safaris.
RTR - I was unlucky. 0 tigers in 3 safaris ( due to winter season Dec2021)
😂😂😂hussolimaga bhai ava
Yes RTR rarely disappoints
Is it a good time to go for ranthambore N. P.
Absolutely. Great sightings.
Hi, am from NALLAMALAI JUNGLE CAMP, BAIRLUTY, ANDHRAPRADESH
Wonderful. Very lucky
Can you please explain us about half day safari in Ranthambore
Sure. The process is similar, but you need two previous booking IDs to make this booking.
Yes I have two bookings in canter also..if I couldn’t see the tiger in canter I want to take half day booking..so pls help me out
I have seen all your videos..Thanks you so much
Thank you. For half day, its very expensive. We suggest booking tatkal full jeep in a zone where tiger is being sighted. It costs around 17,500.
@@DiscoverWildPaws Thank you so much
fun fact is sunderban has the maximum number of tigers in this country but its very rare to sight a tiger there. I would like to request you to make a video on sunderban!
We will go to Sunderbans next year hopefully and make a video on that.
Lol... there are less than 100 tigers in the Sundarbans. Some other tiger sanctuaries in India have more than 100 tigers. There are more than 300 tigers in Bandipur alone.
Bandipur
🔥
Valmiki tiger reserve also mention bro
The best one in Bihar 👌🏻❤️🔥🙏🏻
How to contact Dhakala forest hose to stay
Official website of UK Tourism
Is it open now
Yes. Open now.
I am assuming that the park rankings weren’t based on just the frequency/possibility of sightings, correct?
That was the only criteria for the ranking. If we consider other factors, there would be lot of changes in these rankings.
@@DiscoverWildPaws - Alright. Got it.
Also, the Rajasthan SSO ID has to be made just by the booker, correct?
Say for example, I am travelling with my family of 4 (including me), do we all need to have Rajasthan SSO IDs? Or can just one of us, (me) make an ID and do a booking for all 4 of us?
I made one for myself and went up to the booking page where the individual details have to be filled, for each individual, but i stopped, and thought it wiser to ask.
The SSO ID is needed for access to the booking page and not for entry to the NP, correct?
Also, thank you for this nugget, the safari self booking. 🙏
Yes the booker needs Id. Others just need to have the govt id details which you will fill while booking.
Tadoba❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️🔥
Please learn the right pronounciations of the tiger reserves
Teach us please. 👨🏻🎓
th-cam.com/video/RWZ963acIpg/w-d-xo.html
BRT Tiger Reserve also having more than 100 tigers😢
And current ruler of kanha mukki zone
Indeed, he is a great tiger, legendary. ❤️🔥🙏🏻
@@DiscoverWildPaws Yess 💪
Make a vlog on kanha it would fun too watch
Ranthambore or bandhavgarh? Where is chances of seeing tiger is most?
Both are greeat. For now, RTR is rocking more than Bandhavgarh but it keeps changing. 🙏🏻
I saw 2 tigers and a bear in ranthambore and 5 tigers ( 1 female with 2 Cubs and rest 2 tigers were solitary individuals) gaur, dholes, leopard and python in bandhavgarh. Bandhavgarh has very high tiger density so chances to spot tigers are high on the contrary in ranthambore you'll be allotted zone 6 to 10 having lowest tiger sightings ( 1 to 4 have huge tiger sighting chances) and if you're lucky they'll give u zone 1 to 5
So in my view bandhavgarh is way better option!!
@@himalayantree5849 Indeed well said about Bandhavgarh's tiger density. One point to add is that you can self-book the zone of your choice in Ranthambore. There is no more random allocation of zones.
@@DiscoverWildPaws ohh I didn't know that , actually I went there in 2018 n that too we had our acquaintances out there so booking was not an issue for us and we were told abt this zone thing by the guide, thanks for the update 😅😅🤘🏽
@@DiscoverWildPaws btw dude saw your videos for the very first time today and believe me these r awesome.. especially the calm n soothing voice ( I'm assuming its yours 😅) makes the videos graceful. One thing just wanted to say, since you guys are keen to spread information abt wildlife..... please make some videos on Indian Caracal, the poor cat is critically endangered in our country, you guys need to spread awareness about it!!!
Bro Where is Amrabad Tiger Rererve Telangana ?? India one of the Biggest Tiger Reserve
One of the biggest but not the top 7 to see a tiger.
Where is Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala ??
Not in Top 7 for tiger sighting. Def great for Ele sighting
Visit tiger reserves or national park in Karnataka you get the bonus of elephants(Karnataka has more than 6000 elephants)and is also in top on both tigers and elephants
It is a dream to visit parks in Karnataka. It’s unbelievably beautiful and mesmerizing. Will plan in the near future ❤️🔥
Corbett at 7 ?
For sighting yes
Rip munna😢
🙏🏻
Panna national park.
90% chances of spotting tiger
Wish to visit one day ❤️🔥
Definitely a great place. Ken river flows through forest full of crocodiles and madla gate is hot spot of tigers though it is buffer zone
Sure. Have seen some picturesque frames of Panna. Jewels and tigers 🥺🥹❤️🔥
Better study the pronunciation of the location name correctly
All wrong information karnataka has most number off tigers 🔥
Per last count and reported data, Karanatak has 2 less than MP.
However, facts like these keep changing. Seems like you are from Karnataka which pinched you a little.
@@DiscoverWildPaws fact is fact actually it didn't pinch me take right serve will pinch you for sure
@@chandanr8826 MP is tiger state of india, get your freaking facts clear before typing anything!!
It was from 2014 to 2018 when karnataka had most number of tigers but the tiger census result released in 2018 revealed that mp had most tigers 526 followed by karnataka 524
Please learn to pronounce before making an video.. it's not nagarhole
It's na -ga-ra-ho-Le.. hoLe means river in kannada..
Yes. You are right. One more subsciber reminded us that we mispronounced the name of this park.
We will take care in upcoming videos.
7th for corbett lol??? I think just like ranthambore j were unluckiest i would have fought seeing corbett at 3 but u rated 7th🤣🤣 i think u didnt get dhikala and jhirna bookings
As mentioned Syed, this is based on our opinion and specific criteria relating to tiger sighting. Different people can have different rankings. All parks are great 🔥🙏🏻
@@DiscoverWildPaws kwel anyways appreciate ur work byt corbett is on of the best and u rated sundarbans 1st where there is no road safari!!!!!
@@syedfareed1296 Thank you. Btw, in our rankings, Bandhvagarh is first. Sunderbans was not on our top 7. We LOVE Corbett
@@DiscoverWildPaws ohh my bad yeah i heard it wrong anyways evryone has their own opinions but i rate 1st ranthambore 2nd corbett
Perfect. Totally agree with your choices 🔥❤️🔥
