Situated in the Northern part of Mahasamund district, the wildlife sanctuary was established during 1976 on a huge area of 245 Sq.km. The sanctuary is a huge hit and ranks the seventh position in the popular attractions of Raipur. Highlights – Lying on a flat and terrain area, the sanctuary gives shelter to number of Tigers, leopards, porcupine, pythons, antelopes, bison and many other species. As you walk in through the muddy paths, parrots, herons, egrets, black bucks, porcupines, monkeys, pea fowl and other species are sure to catch your attention, and you are sure to get surprised by seeing the barking deers.
They offer safari only in buffer zone. We saw deer,monkey and peacocks only but overall experience was clam & peaceful as we did our safari during sunset. Open Gypsy costed us 1300 + 200 for the guide+25 per person for safari booking.During peak days, it's better to book online in advance. To enter the sanctuary there are many gates.One can choose the gate as per location. If you are coming from raipur, you can reach patewa highway and take 25kms unmetalled road to the nearest gate or if you can drive little extra for good roads you can choose to go till pithora and enter from bhalu gate. There will be no mobile network near to sanctuary.
