Legend has it that a former village elder, Taru, was killed by a ferocious encounter with a mythological tiger. Today a shrine dedicated to him can still be found beneath an old Banyan tree, along the banks of the Tadoba Lake. If visiting between December and January try and catch the annual fair held in his honour.

For the best weather visit the Tadoba Tiger Reserve between the months of October and March. Avoid the monsoon months of August and September when wildlife spotting is difficult and roads are bad.
