Located in the Satara district, the sanctuary is spread out 423 kms within the Western Ghats while the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve and Chandoli National Park are its immediate neighbours. Making the sanctuary lush and green are the three rivers, Koyana, Kandati and Solashi which travel through it.
House to an exotic variety of fish, insects and ants, you could be lucky to spot a couple of tigers, nilgai, sloth bears, wild dog, panthers and even sambar. With more than 100 species of birds and amphibians, the Nagzira Wildlife Sanctury located between Bhandara district and Gondia district of Maharashtra is simply a boon to wild life lovers.

Apart from the wildlife, tourists are known to visit the Mahadeo Temple, Pongezira during Mahashivratri festival from Mahashtra as well as the state of Madhya Pradesh.
