All About It
- 4 Days 3 Nights
Nagzira is the dream nature gods dreamt! Nestled between Bhandara and Gondia districts, Nagzira is aptly called a green oasis in the middle of a dry and arid landscape of eastern Maharashtra. The jungle, dedicated to, and named after Naagdev, offers great opportunities to observe and photograph spectacular wildlife including some of the top predators like the tiger, leopard and wild dogs.
Highlights
- Nagzira gets its name from the god Naagdev, the guardian of the forest, and Pongezara, the eternal water source that originates from the hillock of Naagdev temple
- One of the best places in central India to observe leopards - a rarity in rest of the jungles
- The famous tiger named Jai was born and brought up in the Nagzira Tiger Reserve
- Although Vidarbha is known to be a dry region, Nagzira is covered in lush greenery throughout the year
THE FOOTLOOSE FACTOR
We at Footloose Journeys believe in creating value for our campers by taking them on meaningful travel experiences. Along with conducting wildlife safaris and wildlife photography sessions on the camps, we also make sure that our campers learn about the ecosystem as a whole. Through various discussion sessions, documentary screenings, quizzes, interactions with the members of tribal communities, and even interactions with forest department personnel, we make sure that our campers take with them a bagful of beautiful memories and also deep knowledge about the place.

A pleasure to travel with Paresh and team. The whole experience was memorable!
Kuldeep & Meghana
Thank you very much Paresh & Ameya. We really enjoyed our first jungle safari. They really managed each and everything right from picking up from Nagpur
airport. We really enjoyed the hospitality and the experience they have. I wish Footloose Journeys all the very best and looking forward to many more jungle
safaris with them.

Thank you Footloose for arranging an excellent trip to Nagzira camp. Everything went very well and I had a great time.It was amazing to watch stars at night and hear Owl calls throught the camp. Great personalised tour , keep it up !

We had an amazing time with Paresh and his team! I was in a group of ten law students and two professors and the Footloose team tailored the trip to our interests (environmental law, policy, and endangered species protection and conservation).
We met with a top tiger conservationist and learned about efforts to protect tiger habitat in central India. We stayed in a stunning resort for two days just outside Kahna National Park and took several beautiful rides through the park and saw some incredible wildlife. Footloose also arranged for us to meet with some of the people who were displaced when the park was formed so we could learn about their way of life and how they work to protect the forest.
I definitely recommend planning a trip with Footloose Journeys. They are very responsive and easy to work with.

It was my very first experience into the raw jungle and my decision to explore Tadoba with Footloose Journeys was truly beautiful! The entire trip was very well organised and wasn't disappointed at any point of time. The crew (Paresh,our guides,drivers) were very interactive and kept enlightening us about the stories of
the jungle. Awaiting for the next journey :) 🐾
