a
small
trek

days
of

A
visit
to
Achanakmar
Tiger
Reserve
would
be
incomplete
without
a
jungle
safari
and
if
you
are
planning
a
trip
there,
don’t
forget
to
book
your
safari
beforehand.
The
safaris
start
every
year
from
November
till
June
and
anytime
between
these
months
is
a
good
time
to
visit
Achanakmar
Tiger
Reserve.
However,
the
forest
experiences
the
most
number
of
tourists
from
November-January.
So,
if
you
want
to
avoid
the
crowd,
then
you
can
skip
visiting
the
sanctuary
during
these
months.
However,
the
park
remains
closed
during
the
monsoons,
i.e.,
from
June-October.
The
safari
has
two
options,
bus
safari
and
jeep
safari.
The
jeep
safari
timings
are
6:00
am
–
10:00
am
and
from
3:00
pm
–
7:00
pm.
The
costs
range
from
Rs.
2000
-
Rs.3000/
jeep
and
the
jeeps
can
carry
six
tourists,
one
guide
and
one
driver.
The
bus
safari
timings
are
just
the
same;
however,
the
cost
is
Rs.
500/person.
The
buses
can
carry
20
tourists
+
the
driver
The
Achanakmar
Wildlife
Sanctuary
is
closed
during
the
monsoon
season.
The
best
time
to
pay
a
visit
would
be
from
November
to
June.
The
weather
conditions
remain
clear
making
it
easy
for
any
sightings.
Dust
cyclones
often
accompany
the
hot
summers.
Travellers
are
advised
to
check
the
climate
conditions
in
advance
