Do's and Don'ts at The Park
General tips to help you in the Park:
· Keep outside influences, as far as possible, outside the park.
Transistors, tape recorders, blowing the car horn and loud conversations are
taboo in a national park. You will observe more wildlife if you are quiet.
Wear colours that blend with the forest - khaki, brown and olive green
are ideal colours to wear in a national park. Animals might get frightened when
they see bright colours since they are not used to them.
Do not feed any wild animals. They have plenty of natural food in the
forest and do not need any junk food. By feeding them you are changing their
habits.
Do not litter the place with polythene bags, tetra packs and other such
materials. They not only spoil the beauty of the park, but also may harm the
animals. Take them back with you to be disposed off properly.
Keep reasonable distance from all the animals. Approaching too closely
will disturb them. Do not stand up when you are close to tigers - a large animal
might see it as a threat and may be provoked to strike back.
Do not wear perfumes or any other strong smelling substances.
The animals are sensitive to smell and it may arouse their curiosity.
Do not collect any plants or animals. They belong to the forest
and not in your gardens.
Animals are generally shy and tend to hide when they see a human being. Please
do not attempt to lure them out by throwing stones or other objects. Leave them
in peace.
Take strict precautions to guard against accidental fires caused through
carelessness. Smoking and flash photography is prohibited in the park.
All drivers and guides are given a set of instructions regarding the
speed of the vehicle, the route to be followed, the distance to be kept from
other vehicles and wild animals and time guidelines. Never encourage your driver
to break these rules.
You should not deviate from the allotted routes or leave the road
and drive cross- country, enter without proper tickets, enter before sunrise
or stay after sunset.
You can play an important role in the conservation of the park
by giving your valuable suggestions and reRants & Raves . You should report errant
drivers or if you see people violating the rules of the park. Sightings of poachers
should also be reported to the Field Director of the National Park.
Important: Do not forget to carry A mosquito repellent, sunscreen, antiseptic
cream, hat, socks and shoes, binoculars, camera, extra film rolls, water bottle,
warm clothing in winters.
