Baripada: The Similipal National Park in Mayurbhanj district has been shut down for visitors for four months in view of the monsoon season.
The wildlife sanctuary will remain closed from today to ensure the safety of tourists as most roads of the national park become muddy following rainfall.
Spanned over an area of around 2,750 square kilometres, Similipal National Park is considered Asia’s second-largest biosphere reserve.
