Pitezari Gate

Great forest certainly a feel good vacation here. Nawegaon Nagzira forest reserves offers you a great variety of fauna and flora. For Bird watchers it's an amazing place to visit for sure.

NNTR is still a newly declared tiger reserve hence it's still under construction. There is no washroom or souvenir shop unlike other established wildlife sanctuaries. NNTR is a beautiful place teeming with beautiful wildlife. We sighted leopard and tiger on evening safari. Would highly recommend.

Nagzira wildlife sanctuary is located between Bhandara and Gondia district of Maharashtra. Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary is locked in the arms of nature and adorned with a picturesque landscape, luxuriant vegetation and serves as a living outdoor museum to explore and appreciate nature.
Pitezari gate is an eastern entry point for jungle safari at Nagzira Tiger project which is 14km from Sakholi.It is located amidst the dense natural forest.Various resorts including forest guest houses are available within the vicinity as per the budget.To spot the various wildlife it is imperative to enter the forest in a gypsy Jeep along with guide quite early in the morning.As these animals are at their liberty they can not be spotted at the particular location ,however it is totally your luck factor .But you will definitely meet group of langurs(Monkeys),Various deers,peacocks,wildboars,various birds,herds of bisons but to meet tiger is a very very rare opportunity.All the animals move in search of water & food to the nearby water sources.
The internal roads are very well maintained but there seems to be the water scarcity.The hand pumps being operated by staff at various spots are unable to garner the water.

This was good experience but we didn't saw 🐅 yesterday its was bad luck but jungle safari was great..per head 100 and Gypsy cost 2000 plus guide 300 ..we saw deer nil gay peacock 🦅

That's the words that you can take back after a safari from NNTR and that too Pitezari gate. (Provided you are a nature / wildlife lover and know what is the essence of it rather that just a "TIGER Lover")
I've been to Pench, Tadoba, Gir but the jungle here is no match to any of those. I recommend every "Jungle" lover to visit this place, coz even if you don't see any of the big cats, the jungle is not to miss for.
