Complete details about your journey
About This Package
Simlipal — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and tiger habitat in the Mayurbhanj hills — is Odisha’s great wild frontier. This 5-day safari pairs its core-zone forests and giant waterfalls with the rare tidal beach of Chandipur.
Why Choose This Route
We handle the forest permits, secure core-zone jeep slots, and use guides who know where the wildlife moves. Staying inside the reserve means dawn and dusk in the forest — the only times the jungle truly comes alive.
Experience You'll Get
Rumble through sal forests at first light, watch Barehipani plunge 399 metres into a green gorge, track elephant herds across Chahala’s meadows, and finish at Chandipur where the sea pulls back to reveal kilometres of shimmering sand.
Ideal For
Built for adventure travellers, wildlife photographers and nature buffs who don’t mind rustic lodges for the reward of raw wilderness. Best for fit travellers and older children.
