By Lokanath Mishra
As I stepped into the Amrabad Tiger Reserve on Saturday, March 22, 2025, I was struck by the sheer vastness and beauty of this magnificent sanctuary. Spanning an impressive 2,800 square kilometers across the districts of Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda, the Amrabad Tiger Reserve proudly holds the title of the largest tiger reserve in the country.
The reserve’s history is fascinating, having once been a part of the sprawling ‘Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve.’ However, following the bifurcation, the northern portion of the reserve was entrusted to the state of Telangana and aptly renamed the Amrabad Tiger Reserve.
As I explored the reserve, I was captivated by the diverse array of flora and fauna that call this sanctuary home. The Amrabad Tiger Reserve is a testament to the country’s commitment to preserving the natural habitat of the majestic Bengal tiger and other endangered species.
The reserve’s vast expanse is dotted with rolling hills, verdant forests, and meandering streams, providing a perfect haven for the majestic felines to roam and thrive. As I navigated the winding trails, I caught glimpses of the incredible biodiversity that inhabits this sanctuary, from the majestic tigers to the agile deer and the vibrant birdlife.
The Amrabad Tiger Reserve is not only a vital conservation effort but also a symbol of hope for the preservation of our natural heritage. As I concluded my visit, I felt a deep sense of admiration for the tireless efforts of the conservationists, researchers, and forest officials who work diligently to protect and preserve this incredible ecosystem.
The Amrabad Tiger Reserve is a must-visit destination for anyone passionate about wildlife conservation and the great outdoors. As we strive to preserve our natural world for future generations, this magnificent sanctuary serves as a shining example of our collective responsibility to protect and cherish the incredible beauty and diversity of our planet.

The undisputed star of the show was undoubtedly the majestic tiger, which I was fortunate enough to spot during my visit. Its powerful strides and regal demeanor left me spellbound. However, the tiger was not the only feline that made an appearance, as I was also thrilled to catch glimpses of two sleek leopards, their agile bodies effortlessly navigating the forest terrain.
The forest floor was abuzz with the gentle rustling of leaves and snapping of twigs as a multitude of deer grazed peacefully, their large, watchful eyes ever-vigilant for potential predators. The trees, meanwhile, were home to a troop of mischievous monkeys, their antics and playful chirping filling the air.
As I explored the reserve, I also caught sight of lumbering bears, their shaggy coats a testament to their rugged, unforgiving lifestyle. The forest’s serpentine inhabitants, too, made an appearance, with several snakes slithering silently through the underbrush.
