   Full-Day Jeep Safari

   Embark on a full-day jeep safari deep into the park's core zones. Search for one-horned rhinos grazing in the tall elephant grass, spot deer species (spotted, sambar, hog), and watch for tiger pugmarks along the sandy riverbanks. Your naturalist guide reads the jungle like a book — broken branches, alarm calls, pugmarks. Packed lunch in a machan (watchtower).
