Ratapani Tiger Reserve

Beta

Newly notified as a tiger reserve, Ratapani is a sandstone forest on the edge of Bhopal with a growing tiger population. It also takes in the prehistoric rock-shelter paintings of Bhimbetka.

Why this place matters

Crucial corridor linking the southern MP tiger populations with the central Indian matrix, situated perilously close to the Bhopal urban center.
