Kalesar National Park Update: After a brief closure due to the monsoon season, Kalesar National Park is all set to reopen its jungle safari, offering visitors a chance to witness an array of wildlife in their natural habitat. The park, spanning over 11,570 acres, is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including elephants, leopards, deer, sambar, and various other species.

The park's strategic location, bordering Himachal Pradesh's Simbalbara National Park and Uttarakhand's Rajaji National Park, makes it an ideal habitat for wildlife migration. Visitors can expect to spot animals like tigers, leopards, elephants, and deer roaming freely in the park.

Kalesar Jungle Safari: A Thrilling Experience

The 16-kilometre-long jungle safari track offers tourists an exhilarating experience of exploring the wilderness in open jeeps. The safari is designed on the lines of Dubai's model, providing a unique experience for visitors. The park's wildlife, including cheetahs, leopards, elephants, deer, wild boars, foxes, and snakes, makes the safari even more attractive.

From October onwards, migratory birds are expected to arrive at the Hathnikund barrage, adding to the park's natural beauty and biodiversity. This will undoubtedly make the park an even more attractive destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts.

Kalesar National Park: Reopening After Monsoon Closure

The forest department had closed the park for jungle safari from July due to the monsoon season and poor road conditions.
