Costs
-1200/-
(excluding
vehicle
charge)per
head
for
an
elephant
ride
for
1
hour(actually
35-40mins).
1200
/-
includes
guide
charges
i.e.
Rs350/-
Guides
are
pathetic.
Hardly
explains
about
the
flora
fauna
or
ecology
of
the
national
park.
The
ticket
counter
is
7km
from
the
elephant
riding
point(from
where
the
ride
begins)
and
for
that
part
only
,the
guide
is
available
(not
the
entire
trip).
The
route
from
the
ticket
counter
to
elephant
point
of
7km
carries
an
additional
charge
of
Rs800/-
if
you
have
brought
your
own
vehicle.If
not,they
provide
a
jeep
but
costs
even
more.
Scenery
-
The
park
is
famous
for
One
horned
rhino.
Went
there
twice.hardly
found
any.
Other
fauna
like
pelicans
and
deers
are
also
not
seen.
The
elephant
ride
timings
are
in
3
shifts
(6:30
am,7:30
am
and
8:30
am
onwards
for
which
you
have
to
arrive
30
mins
early
respectively).When
asked,
neither
of
the
3
shifts
found
any
one
horned
rhino.
They
have
5
elephants
for
each
ride
carrying
4
people
each.
Elephant
routes
are
hardly
2-3km
long
in
the
jungle.
Conclusion
-The
national
park
is
great
if
you
want
an
elephant
ride
in
the
forest.Cost
per
head
is
on
a
higher
side.The
guide
provided
is
compulsory
and
is
good
for
nothing.
However
Jeep
routes
are
longer
(approx
15km)
and
last
upto
1.5hr.
You
can
spot
tribal
dance
after
3:30pm.
