Night camps at SGNP
Starting December, nature lovers can enjoy the sanctity of the wild by renting tents inside SGNP. To encourage eco-tourism, park officials plan to rent tents in the secured zone of Krishnagiri Upvan at SGNP. As leopards and other animals roam the area, officials have taken special care to construct the tents in a fenced location. The tents come equipped with a toilet.

To make the experience surreal, the tents will not have electricity or television. Also, cooking will not be permitted. An average of six people would be able to reside for 24 hours in a tent for Rs 2,400.

SGNP Director Sunil Limaye said, "The main reason behind planning this project was to promote eco-tourism and we are confident that it will attract a large number of nature lovers who want to experience night camping in the wild."
