Most forest safaris across Maharashtra are suspended from July 1 due to the monsoon. However, safari operations in the buffer zone of Umred-Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary continue depending on weather conditions. Authorities temporarily suspend safaris only during periods of heavy rainfall.
This is not the first successful litter for the popular F-2 tigress. She had previously given birth to five cubs, all of whom have now matured and dispersed to establish their own territories.
Spread across nearly 189 square kilometres, the Umred-Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary has three entry gates-Karhandla, Gothangaon, and Paoni. With the F-2 tigress and her four cubs now frequently spotted, the sanctuary has become an even bigger draw for nature lovers despite the monsoon season.
