Kanha. Corbett. Bandhavgarh. Pench. Tadoba.Nobody mentions Amrabad.This is extraordinary. Because Amrabad Tiger Reserve in Telangana is one of the largest tiger reserves in India, covering approximately 2611 square kilometres of the Nallamala Hills in a landscape so dramatic and so biodiverse that wildlife naturalists who have worked here describe it as one of the most rewarding and most underappreciated wildlife destinations in the entire country.While Ranthambore handles hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and Kanha's safari zones fill up months in advance, Amrabad operates in a state of extraordinary, comfortable obscurity. The safari vehicles are never crowded. The jungle tracks are largely undisturbed. The wildlife encounters happen without the competitive urgency that characterises the more famous reserves. And the entire extraordinary experience is available as an overnight tour from Hyderabad, one of India's most dynamic and historically extraordinary cities.But the Amrabad story goes deeper than just an uncrowded tiger reserve.At the heart of the reserve stands the ruined fort of Prataparudra, the last king of the Kakatiya dynasty, whose fall to the Delhi Sultanate in 1323 AD ended one of the most powerful empires in South Indian history. The forests of Amrabad were once the private hunting grounds of the Nizams of Hyderabad, whose roads and rest houses still thread through the reserve. And in the canopy above a percolation tank frequented by leopards, sloth bears and deer, a treehouse named after the reigning tigress of the reserve offers an overnight stay unlike anything else available from Hyderabad.This is the Amrabad Tiger Reserve tour from Hyderabad. And in this episode we tell you everything about it.What You Will Discover in This EpisodeWhy Amrabad Tiger Reserve is one of the largest tiger reserves in India...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/eWrZ3doNBWF40S0S56sC17IDwfhLRtHiDkqKOrNCvtA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85Yjg5/Y2Q3ODM2NzZkOTcz/NGJiMWMwMDEzMTFl/YjI3NC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
