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.

Under Indian law (Indian Forest Act 1927, Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, Forest (Conservation) Act 1980), driving here without written permission from the Forest Department is illegal.
