Travel Tips

  • Hire local guides; they know animal movements and hidden trails better than maps.
  • Visit early morning or late afternoon for peak wildlife visibility and photography.
  • Monsoon season (June-August) makes roads challenging; post-monsoon autumn is ideal.
  • Carry binoculars, camera with telephoto lens, and tick repellent for comfort.
  • Book permits online or at Agartala office; avoid peak holidays for smoother entry.
