Harish Kumar Bisht, field director of the Tiger Reserve said, as the internal roads and other communication channels are washed away during the rainy season, the entry of tourists is prohibited till the end of monsoon.
The date of reopening would be notified after the monsoon is over, Bisht said.
Located in northern Odisha, the Similipal National Park, famous for its pristine beauty coupled with its varied flora and fauna, attracts tourists from the country and abroad.
