Day visit passes
For day visits, entry passes can be obtained online through the official Similipal and EcoTour Odisha portals or, if available, directly at the entry gate on the day of travel.
Booking basics
Permits for Similipal
Use this page as the quick permit guide. It covers day visit passes, overnight nature camp bookings and the ID check you should expect at the gate.
What you need to know
Permits are simple when you know the two visit types
Most visitors are doing one of two things: coming in for the day or staying inside a nature camp. Once you know which one you want, the permit path gets much clearer.
Overnight stays
Nature camps such as Jamuani, Gurguria, Kumari and Barehipani can be reserved ahead through the EcoTour Odisha booking system.
Bring photo ID
Every visitor should carry a valid government-issued photo identity card and present it at the check gate when required.
Book early when you can
The earlier you book, the easier it is to line up your visit with the gate, route and camp you actually want.
Short note
Day visits and overnight stays follow different booking paths
The permit process is easier when you match the booking to the trip style before you arrive.
Day visits can be arranged online or, when available, at the gate on the day of travel.
Overnight stays should be reserved in advance through the EcoTour Odisha portal.
Keep a valid photo ID ready for the check gate.
If you are unsure which permit you need, start with the day-visit option and build outward from there.
Next step
Match your permit to the gate and route
Once the permit is sorted, check entry gate and access rules so you do not have to improvise on the day of travel.
