You have to book online ticket from simpli park website . For your own car need to make permits. Car should be suv type only. Don’t expect to see tiger! You get deers rarely too. For jungle safari nice and waterfall very good place. There is no network in the jungle. Carry if cards and car documents. For personal car with two guys and guide we pay nearly 700 approx .total run 120 km in the jungle.
