Satpuda Jungle Safari Celebrates One-Year Anniversary with Tourist Surge
The Satpuda Jungle Safari is a new nature park in North Maharashtra that opened on August 2, 2025.
It covers a big area of forest and lets visitors walk on a 27‑kilometre trail that goes past waterfalls, dams, and places where animals like tigers and deer live.
In its first year, the park had 444 guided tours and many tourists, especially on weekends.
The Forest Department runs five special safari vehicles and has 18 local guides.
The park is part of a plan to help people in the area earn money from tourism while protecting the forest and its wildlife.
North Maharashtra’s first jungle safari turned one year old on Aug 2 2025.
The 3,339‑hectare park follows a 27‑km route with waterfalls, dams, and wildlife habitats.
444 guided trips were run in the first year, with high weekend and holiday attendance.
The Forest Department operates five safari vehicles and 18 local guides, planning to expand.
