Simlipal National Park and Tiger Reserve reopened for tourists

Simlipal National Park and Tiger Reserve in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district reopened for tourists on Sunday.

The world famous tiger reserve remains closed for tourists every year during monsoon and reopens in October or November. The park is closed as the roads get washed away due to rain during the monsoon season.

Visitors would be allowed to visit the largest tiger reserve of Odisha through two entry points at Pithabata and Jamuani, a communique issued earlier by Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) authority said.
