Similipal National Park is one of the largest tiger reserves in India, spread over 2750 sq km. Rather than a Wild tiger, it’s also called an Elephant reserve and the home of various other wildlife animals. It is the park for the Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, gaur, and chausingha. This protected area has been part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2009. The Biodiversity, Greenery, and Waterfalls are the splendid beauty of the National park.
