Sawai Madhopur : Park visits and tourism activities have been closed for three months from today in Ranthambore National Park main zones (one to five) and Sariska Tiger Reserve. Now both the tiger reserves will open on October 1. Every year the Tiger Reserve is closed for three months during the rainy season due to bad roads due to rain in the monsoon season and breeding time of tigers and other wild animals. One zone is kept open for tourists in Sariska during the closure. In this zone, tourists can go from Sadar Gate to Pandupol. At the same time, tourism activities will continue in Ranthambore’s outer zone (6) as well.

Wildlife photographer Vijay Singh Meena said that in the evening shift, tigress Riddhi was first seen near the hunting lodge with her cubs. Forest officials said that tourism will remain closed for three months in the main zone of Ranthambore. But tourism activities will continue in the outer zones (6 to 10) of Ranthambore even during the rainy season.
