The Palamau tiger reserve is spread over an area of 1026 sq.kms.Though the Koel River and its tributaries run through the reserve, the animals mostly depend on man-made water holes for their needs and as a result they can be easily viewed. The leopard, tiger, elephant, Indian wolf, gaur, sambar, sloth bear and nilgai are some of the inhabitants of the reserve.
