Ask any wildlife enthusiast in India to name the country's tiger reserves and you will hear the same answers every time.Ranthambore. 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 and why almost nobody in the international travel community knows it exists, creating safari conditions of extraordinary quality without the crowds and competitive urgency that characterise India's more famous reservesThe ecological story of the Nallamala Hills and why the Eastern Ghats landscape of Amrabad is dramatically different from the central Indian forests that most tiger tourism destinations occupy, with ancient rock formations, dry deciduous forest, thorn scrub and the extraordinary river valley habitats of the Krishna River creating a wildlife environment unlike any other tiger reserve in the countryThe tiger population of Amrabad and what the current census data tells us about the health and growth of this extraordinary wildlife sanctuary that has benefited so significantly from reduced human disturbance compared to more visited reservesThe complete wildlife of Amrabad beyond the tigers, including one of the most significant and most accessible leopard populations in South India, the Indian wild dog or Dhole whose pack hunts across the open grasslands of the Amrabad plateau are among the most thrilling wildlife encounters available in any Indian reserve, the sloth bear population of the Nallamala Hills rock terrain, the striped hyena, the Indian wolf and over 250 bird species including significant raptor diversity during the winter migration periodThe extraordinary historical dimension that no other Indian tiger reserve can match, including the ruined fort of Prataparudra the last Kakatiya king whose fall in 1323 AD ended one of the most powerful empires in South Indian history, accessible on the dawn trek that forms the most unusual and most memorable element of the Amrabad Tiger Reserve tour from HyderabadHow the forests of Amrabad were once the private hunting grounds of the Nizams of Hyderabad, the extraordinarily wealthy dynasty whose roads and rest houses still thread through the reserve, connecting the wildlife experience directly to one of the most remarkable chapters in South Indian historyThe overnight treehouse experience at Farha named after the reigning tigress of the reserve, positioned above a percolation tank frequented by leopards sloth bears and deer and offering an overnight wildlife encounter unlike anything else available from HyderabadThe Chenchu and Lambada tribal communities who have lived in these forests for generations, their traditional relationship with the reserve's wildlife and the extraordinary cultural heritage of communities whose forest knowledge is as old as the landscape they inhabitHow the safari experience at Amrabad differs fundamentally from India's more famous tiger reserves, with uncrowded tracks, extended unhurried wildlife encounters and forest department naturalists whose tracking skills have been developed in a largely undisturbed environment of exceptional qualityThe extraordinary cultural heritage of Hyderabad that surrounds the Amrabad wildlife experience, from the Golconda Fort ...
