Geography & terrain

Umred Karhandla lies in the Nagpur district of Maharashtra at about 300 m, 50 km from Nagpur and 15 km from Umred — the tiger reserve of the region, its 2012 tiger life, the lake and the forest set on the Nagpur plain.

History & culture

The reserve's story runs with the 2012 tiger era — the tiger reserve of the 2012-era tiger life and the 2013-era notification of the forest service, with the reserve's modern role as the wildlife stop of the Nagpur circuit and the home of the tigers and the lake and the 2010s-era safaris; the reserve's history of the 2014-era tiger translocations and the lake corners, gives Umred Karhandla its tiger character.
