The park is also home to a rich variety of bird species, including peacocks, eagles, and pelicans, which you might spot soaring above or strutting along the water’s edge. The safari also offers the chance to see other wildlife such as leopards, sloth bears, deer, wild buffalo, wild pigs, grey langers, purple-faced leaf monkeys, porcupines, and an assortment of birds.

Your experienced driver will guide you to the best spots for wildlife viewing, ensuring that you have an immersive and unforgettable experience. With the backdrop of the setting sun, the park transforms into a golden-hued realm where animals roam freely, offering a perfect opportunity for photography enthusiasts.
