The jungle safari in Shuklaphanta National Park has been closed after the roads inside the park were damaged due to rain. Purushottam Wagle, conservation officer of the park, said that the safari was stopped after the tourists started suffering when the vehicle got stuck in the mud while going for the safari.

The main route for safari from Majhagaon, the park's headquarters, to the grasslands and the road around the area has been damaged. Because of this, the vehicles that went on safari got stuck and it became difficult to rescue them, so it was closed.

'After the vehicle got stuck, the tourists began to suffer,' Conservation Officer Wagle said, 'It is difficult to rescue them, once or twice we rescued them.' Although gravel and water have been pitched in some places, it is difficult to drive on unpaved roads due to mud. 

According to the park office, 111 people, including 24 foreigners, went on a jungle safari in June. Before that, 3 thousand 611 people have entered Shuklaphanta till May. "The main sightseeing spot of the park is the Shuklaphanta grassland, it becomes difficult when the road leading there is bad," said conservation officer Wagle. The grassland is the prime habitat of the hornbill. Tourists reach this place to see thousands of elephants. According to the latest count, there are more than 2,300 elephants in Shuklaphanta. Apart from this, wild animals like tiger, rhino, elephant, Krishnasar, Chital are the major attractions here. According to the latest count, there are 42 adult tigers in the park.
