5. Relax at Watchtowers

Inside the park, there are forest watchtowers built at key spots where tourists can sit quietly and wait for wildlife to appear. From here, you can see herds of deer, gaur (Indian bison), or even predators in action. During the safaris, sometimes guides allow people to spend 10 or 15 minutes on watchtowers. It’s a peaceful yet thrilling way to spend time in the jungle. The watch towers are built on a higher level, because of which it is easy to spot animals moving at a distance. Early mornings and evenings are the best times to sit at these watchtowers, as most animals are active during that time.
