Access, permits & safety
This safari appears to run under official / Forest-Department-sanctioned arrangements per the source linked on this page. Still confirm current permits, timings and closures on the official source before you travel — access can change without notice.
When it runs: Availability is seasonal and varies by reserve. Most tiger-reserve core-zone safaris are open roughly October to June and closed during the monsoon (about July to September / early October), but the exact months, buffer-zone exceptions and weekly off-days differ from reserve to reserve. Don't assume it runs year-round — check the current safari window and booking calendar on the official Forest Department portal before you plan or travel.
