In the dense forests and open grasslands where tigers reign supreme, their communication is as powerful as their presence. Through a complex array of vocalizations, these magnificent creatures convey everything from territorial warnings to affectionate greetings.

Each sound—whether a thunderous roar or a soft chuff—serves a purpose in their daily lives, helping them navigate through their environment, interact with other tigers, and assert their dominance as apex predators.

Is it only the inside of the lodge that makes your stay unforgettable? Naaa, we beg to differ.
Landscape and its surroundings play an equally crucial role.

Waghoba Eco Lodge is set beautifully on a 12-acre land of an untraversed area in the buffer zone of Tadoba National Park. The landscape of Tadoba has a variety of shades of gold to dark brown for the most part of the year and green during the monsoons, giving the lodge a charming surrounding to flaunt.

Additional afforestation with indigenous plant species not only helped to rewild the original plot of land but also provided a green corridor for the fauna to approach the lake made at the lodge’s entrance.

The Lake in return plays its part in enhancing biodiversity by providing a 3 layer of ecosystem for the aquatic life to flourish.

Wild dogs have been romping around the planet for over 12,000 years now, which means they have been hanging around since the Last Ice Age.

There are about 10 to 11 subspecies of dholes which are found all across the globe. Two are listed as endangered and two are on the verge of extinction. However, the Asiatic wild dog is the most common subspecies found in India.

The wild dog, or dhole, is a masterful predator known for its ruthless hunting tactics. These skilled hunters are famous for their relentless and merciless approach to capturing prey, often consuming it while it's still alive.

Dholes communicate through a distinctive whistle, earning them the nickname "whistling hunters." In the wild, they exemplify the brutal yet efficient nature of survival, making them one of nature's most formidable predators.

The Cormorant is a large, black waterbird whose size and colour make it very visible.

Cormorants are designated as part of the Aves class, Pelecaniformes order, and Phalacrocoracidae family. Phalacrocoracidae is a family of birds with more than 30 species, all known for their ability to dive deeply underwater to hunt for fish. 🐟🐠

Here are some interesting facts about Cormorants, we bet you didn't know;

* With a reptilian neck, Cormorants are distinguished by their dark, glossy feathers and long, hooked bills often seen standing with their wings held out to dry.
* Cormorants can hold their breath for several minutes and dive 150 feet underwater to catch fish.
* They use different vocalizations to communicate, including honking or grunting.
* Some people also find it interesting that cormorants have been known to use tools, such as rocks, to help them break open the shells of their prey.
* They are often seen perched on rocks or trees near bodies of water, with their wings spread out to dry.

Bandhavgarh is rightly one of the most popular tiger destinations where the chances of sighting these majestic cats is significantly higher as compared to other parks in India.

However due to increase in big cat numbers many cats are being pushed out of the main park in buffer areas resulting which they happen to prey upon the easy targets, the domestic cattle.

Since the movement of these cats can’t be predicted before hand, in such instances the department rightly compensates the cattle owners if their livestock is preyed upon by cat.
