Rajasthan Halts Nahargarh Biological Park Safaris After Tourist Vehicle Gets Stuck Near Tiger
Imagine going on a safari to see tigers, but the road gets super muddy because of rain.
One day, a bus full of people got stuck in the mud!
A tiger came very close, which scared everyone.
Because the roads are still too muddy and unsafe, the park decided to stop the safaris for a while.
They need to fix the roads first.
This is to make sure no one gets hurt while trying to see the animals.
Rajasthan has temporarily closed tiger and lion safaris at Nahargarh Biological Park.
The closure is due to slippery tracks and waterlogging caused by continuous rain.
A tourist vehicle carrying 25 people, including children, got stuck in mud about 20 feet from a tiger.
Forest officials rescued the tourists by transferring them to another vehicle.
Safaris will remain suspended from October 30th until further notice, pending track repairs and normalization of conditions.
