My trip to Simlipal Wildlife Sanctuary was truly an everlasting one that I will rejoice for the rest times of my life. The trip that was planned as part of a group weekend getaway was something that I experienced for the first time and that too in the state of Orissa. After a lot of online searches we decided to visit this sanctuary that is located in the Mayurbhanj district of the state of Orissa, and is one of the famous national parks in Odisha. When we learnt that its one of the far-famed wildlife hotspot between national and international tourists, the Simlipal national park is home to some of the rare and endangered species of flora and fauna, we just couldn’t wait any longer and booked one of the Orissa Wildlife Tour Packages.
Some of the species we found here were Royal Bengal Tigers, Wild elephants, Indian Bisons, Chausingha, Mugger Crocodile and orchidarium. The waterfalls namely Joranda and Barehipani were so beguiling that one can’t resist their charm. Moreover, one can also spot birds such as Red Jungle fowl, Alexandrine Parakeet, Hill Mynah, Peacock, Grey Hornbill, Malabar Pied Hornbill as well as various reptiles. And, the best thing one can bask here is the adjoining settlements of the Santhal tribe that introduces one to the traditional facet of Goa. Well! I had a great time visiting the Wildlife Sanctuary Orissa, and if you are envying it all then book out your Simlipal tour. Do let me know about your experience in Simlipal.
