Bandipur Safari Office To Be Sifted Outside 2019

From June 2nd the Bandipur van and Jeep safari counter will be shifted outside the Bandipur National Park entry gate, Very close to Bandipur Jungle Lodges  entry gate.
The forest department finally decided to implement the plan of shifting the safari point outside of bandipur tiger reserve after lot of discussion. The main reason for this major shift is due to the increase of tourists and vehicles inside the forest. On long weekends and summer holidays more than 50 vehicles are being parked at a time in front of safari office which is in middle of the jungle on Mysore Ooty highway.
The shifting of safari office will help a lot in reducing traffic and tourist population inside the jungle, which also means less disturbance for the wildlife.
The new safari ticket office outside the gate will have toilet canteen and sovigner shop facilities.
The safari ticket charges will remain the same for the year 2019.
Other accommodation units like the dormitories and rooms will remain in the same location near the old safari tickets location.
