1 2 3 Nagpur: As nature lovers vie for the limited spots available in the machan census on May 12, some feel the prices should be at par across all locations. Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), being a prime location, commands the highest price at Rs 4,500 per person. Navegaon-Nagzira Tiger Reserve (NNTR), on the other hand, is charging Rs 2,000 per person. In Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR), the charges are Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,500 per person. A nature lover, who also does wildlife photography , said, "The premium rate for TATR is understandable, but this should not be about making money. This should be about the govt giving a chance to all nature lovers to experience a very unique event. The prices must be made affordable and be the same across the board." Another difference is that in Tadoba, the Rs 4,500 per person price tag does not come with any add-ons. In NNTR and MTR, selected participants will get dinner, breakfast, and a bottle of water. For Tadoba, participants have to bring their own vegetarian food and bottle.
