Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is a top pick for a budget November tiger safari: strong cat numbers, multiple gates, and lodges at several price points within driving distance of Nagpur.
Budget levers: choose shared jeep safaris, stay in Moharli or Khutwanda buffer lodges (not luxury eco-resorts), travel by overnight train from Mumbai or Nagpur flight deals, and stack 4 drives across 2 full days.
November sighting notes: waterholes shrink after monsoon; tigers use main roads early morning. Moharli is popular — book permits early. Khutwanda can be quieter with similar habitat.
Expect roughly ₹2,500–₹4,000 per shared jeep safari including permit and guide (verify current rates on the official portal). Three nights budget stay ₹5,000–₹8,000 per person sharing.
