*We recommend booking the same at the earliest as the forest authorities responsible for the park restrict the number of jeeps in each drive and hence the drive is subject to availability.

In case of non-availability of jeeps, there is a guaranteed alternative for visit to the park in form of a large open air vehicle on seat sharing basis called "Canter".
