As soon I arrived in Simlipal, the first and foremost thing that I had on my mind is to find such an accommodation that can really help me out in exploring the rich wildlife of the region. So I took my backpack and entered this very lodge called Toshali Jungle Lodge. As soon I walked into the lobby, a warm welcome was the very first thing I was showered with. After enquiring about the facilities and tariff and other essential things, I checked in. So this was the first day that I had in Simlipal. After some refreshment, I took my Simlipal guide and tried looking out for the page that read Tourist Places in Simlipal. I was turning on the pages my eyes struck to the wildlife description of the region. I must say every wildlife lover should visit Simlipal once. The book read that it houses Royal Bengal Tigers, wild elephants, mugger crocodiles, Chowsingha, Sambhar, common langur as part of the fauna diversity followed by a rich heritage of flora. Moreover, some of the avi-fauna found here were listed as Peacock, Red Jungle Fowl, Crested Serpent Eagle, Hill mynah etc. with their not so easily articulable scientific names.
After reading out a bit from the so called travel Guide, I went out and tried to explore some of the Simlipal Attractions and click Mother Nature in her best moods so far. One of the best things that consolidate the beauty of this place is the fact that the park is crisscrossed twelve rivers that makes it a wonderful spot for trekking. Barehipani and Joranda Waterfalls were another place that I really like among the famous tourist places near Simlipal.
