Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s Similipal National Park in Mayurbhanj district reopened for the tourists from today after remaining closed for visitors due to monsoon.
The national park was closed for tourists in mid-June due to the onset of South-West Monsoon.

The tourists will be allowed to enter the park from Pithabata (Lulung) and Kaliani (Jashipur) check gates, an official said.
The maximum of 35 vehicles and 25 vehicles will be allowed for carrying the visitors at Kaliani and Pithabata respectively.
The tourists would have to leave the sanctuary area latest by 5 pm every day. The entry permits will be issued between 6 am to 9 am.
