Foxtail Eco Retreat – Tipeshwar
Tipeshwar WLS
Tucked away in a remote corner of the Yavatmal District on the border of Telangana and Maharashtra is Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary. Tipeshwar WLS is the newest and currently hottest Tiger jungle in India with sightings of up to 10 tigers per safari being reported once a while. Tipeshwar has two gates: 1) Sunna Gate and 2) Mathni Gate and spreads across 143 Square Kms and located about 170 Kms South of Nagpur. It’s a dry deciduous Jungle and perfect Tiger territory. After the last village was relocated Tipeshwar though small area wise has established itself as a Tiger Maternity Home and every couple of years sends out about 9 cubs. 2020 will probably see the highest numbers so far-reaching probably over 20!! Tipeshwar is also a birder’s delight with many exotic birds making it their home.
Foxtail Eco Retreat – Resort and Observation Center (Foxtail Eco Retreat)
Foxtail Eco Retreat possibly has the best of the best location. Located on the Sunna Gate the NH44 is just 2 Kms away and the nearest Village (also the closest habitation) Sunna is about 1.2 Kms from the Retreat.
Foxtail Eco Retreat is spread out on just under 6 acres of land but sharing boundaries with a 143 Sq Km jungle it never feels short on space. In fact, it feels more of an extension of the Jungle. You can do your booking at www.foxtaileciretreat.com or call us at +91-9848023029.
