Tour Details
Melghat Tiger Reserve is located in the Satpura Hill Range in Central India, also called the Gavilgarh hills. It is a prime tiger habitat, dry deciduous in nature, and dominated by teak (Tectona grandis). It is in the catchment area of the five major rivers, Khandu, Khapra, Sipna, Gadga and Dolar, all of which are tributaries of the river Tapti. However, what makes Melghat special to us is the fact that the Forest Owlet is best sighted in this area.
This small diurnal owl was considered extinct for over a century, until Pamela Rasmussen, Ben King, and David Abbott rediscovered the Forest Owlet in Toranmal Reserve Forest in
November 1997.
Since then, it has been found in various places throughout India, but Melghat remains one of the best places to sight this sought-after owlet!
