Nagzira Tiger Safari Timings
Nestled in the eastern part of Maharashtra, Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary offers a beautiful blend of rich biodiversity and serene forest landscapes. Known for its peaceful environment and rising tiger sightings, it's a great choice for wildlife lovers looking for a less-crowded yet rewarding safari experience.
The sanctuary operates two safari slots daily - one in the morning and another in the evening. These timings change slightly depending on the season, primarily to match daylight hours and animal activity patterns.
Note: Nagzira is closed on every Thursday.
Nagzira Opening & Closing Months
Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary remains open from October 1st to June 30th every year. The sanctuary is closed during the monsoon months - July to September - to allow the forest to regenerate and for safety reasons.
While core zones are completely shut during this period, a few buffer routes may open occasionally based on rainfall and forest department decisions. It's best to check local updates if planning a visit near the season's end or beginning.
