Spread over an area of
approximately 1026 sq. km., Palamau Tiger Reserve is located
within the civil administrative district of Palamau in the South
Chhotanagpur plateau of Bihar. The undulating terrain is set off
by sal forests and thickets of bamboo. The circuitous Koel River
and its tributaries meander through the park.
Fauna: Palamau has the distinction of
being the forest where the world's first tiger census was conducted by
way of pugmarks, in 1934. Large herds of Gaur & Chital are commonly
seen. Elephants are present mostly after the monsoon upto the time when
the water holes begin to dry up in March. Tiger, Panther, Sloth Bear,
Wild Bear, Sambar, Nilgai, Deer are also permanent residents.
Palamau National Park is now a part of one

conflicts, caused largely by elephants are a major problem and pose
Project Tiger with one of its greatest challenges.
