Geography & terrain

Kawal WLS lies in the Jagtial district of Telangana, 150 km from Hyderabad and 70 km from Adilabad — the tiger reserve of the state's north, its teak forests, the river and the wildlife set on the plateau's edge.

History & culture

The reserve's story runs with the region's forest history — the old hunting reserve of the Nizam's era, with the reserve's modern designation as the tiger reserve of 2012 and the state's conservation of the corridor; the reserve's role in the central India's tiger landscape, with the Godavari's country and the teak stands, gives Kawal its tiger-forest character.
