Every year the Similipal Tiger Reserve remains closed to visitors for a period of four months during the monsoon season.

The Tiger Reserve will be out of bounds for tourists/ visitors tentatively till September 30. The exact date of its reopening will be notified and published in newspapers.

But the eco-tourism complex- Jamuani, Gurudia, Kumari, Barehipani and Ramtirtha will remain open for the visitors.
