The topography is undulating and the highest point viz. Zenda Pahad is around 702m above MSL. The Navegaon Nagzira Tiger Reserve is a miraculously preserved “Green Oasis” in the eastern most part of the Maharashtra State and has a great importance from bio-diversity conservation point of view.  This Tiger Reserve is locked in the arms of nature and adorned with picturesque landscapes, luxuriant vegetation and serves as living outdoor museum to explore and appreciate nature. This Tiger Reserve is indeed nature’s priceless asset and beckons one and all to enjoy its picturesque landscapes, its scenic beauty, its pure and fresh air.  It is really a boon to us and hence we must realise the real worth of this marvellous treasure house of nature and must protect it as a part of our national heritage.
