Guidelines

Follow Park Rules and Stick to Designated Trails : Do not wander off marked paths. Straying can harm wildlife habitats and put you at risk of encounters with wild animals. Do Not Feed or Disturb Wildlife : Feeding animals, including birds and monkeys, is prohibited. Keep a safe distance and observe quietly. Plan Visits According to Park Hours and Weather : Check opening hours in advance. Early morning is best for wildlife viewing, and avoid visiting during heavy rains as trails can be slippery and dangerous.
