What to know

VERIFIED. Non-SAARC USD 25 adult / USD 15 child; SAARC USD 20 / USD 10. The price bundles the entrance fee, the jeep, a service charge and 15% VAT, which is why quotes vary so much. The highest leopard density in the world, plus elephants, sloth bears and crocodiles. Block 1 usually closes September to October for drought. Morning drives beat afternoon ones. It gets very busy - dozens of jeeps at a single leopard sighting.

Minimum age 4.

When to go

The planner warns of wet in April, May, October, November. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
