Sahyadri Tiger Reserve

The Sahyadri Tiger Reserve is located in the Sahyadri Ranges of Maharashtra's western ghats. These include a shared border between Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa. It is the first tiger reserve in western Maharashtra and the fourth in Maharashtra state, encompassing two protected areas, the Koyana sanctuary, the Chandoli national park, and an adjoining region in the landscape. The area is divided into four districts: Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, and Ratnagiri. This mountainous terrain is dominated by basaltic rocks and has dry savannahs, mesic savannahs, dry deciduous forests, moist deciduous forests, and areas of montane rainforest. The region's mountaintop plateaus (known locally as Sadaa) are home to a varied assortment of ephemerals that bloom during the monsoon season
