Chitwan, Oct 12: Jeep Safari has been resumed from October 9 in Chitwan National Park. This service to the tourists visiting the national park was suspended since July 1 with the start of the monsoon rains.
Jeep safari has started after repairing the roads inside the park damaged by the rain. The park’s information officer, Avinash Thapa Magar, said that the jeep safari was started once the roads damaged by floods during the rainy season were repaired and work like removing fallen trees and clearing bushes was completed.
He said it took time to open the jungle safari because the flood that occurred in the last week of September damaged the jungle safari routes.
Even if jeep safaris are stopped inside the wildlife reserve, jeep and elephant safaris continue as usual at any time in the buffer zones and community forests.
Jeep safari is operated from 32 jeeps from Sauraha, 22 from Kasara, 11 from Meghauli, 8 from Amaltari, and one from Madi. Tourists ride these jeeps to explore the park. People mainly come here to see rare wildlife like the one-horned rhino and the Royal Bengal tiger.
