How To Reach Gugamal National Park

Amravati, Maharashtra, India
Gugamal National Park is a sprawling protected area of 1673.93 sq. km., forming the core area of the Melghat Tiger Reserve in the rugged Satpura ranges. Biodiversity Hotspot: It is a critical wildlife habitat, renowned for its population of Bengal Tigers, sloth bears, Indian leopards, Gaur (Indian B ison), and various species of deer (Sambar, Cheetal, Barking Deer). The park also boasts a rich avifauna of over 260 species. Flora and Ecology: The forest is classified as Southern dry deciduous, dominated by Teak (Tectona Grandis) along with other species like Ain, Lendia, and an abundance of bamboo. It is also famous for a wide variety of medicinal plants and has areas of orchids. Conservation Significance: The park plays a crucial role in conservation, especially for the preservation of the tiger population. The reintroduction of Marsh Crocodiles (mugger) in the local rivers is another notable conservation success, making it a key ecological and environmental landmark in Maharashtra. Visitor facilities often start from nearby spots like Semadoh or Chikhaldara.:
