Similipal is Odisha’s flagship forest-and-wildlife experience—dense sal forests, waterfalls, biodiversity, and a sense of vast wilderness. It’s ideal for travelers who want safaris, nature camps, and the “deep forest” feel that’s very different from beach-and-temple circuits.

History & highlights
Odisha Tourism describes Similipal as Odisha’s foremost wildlife sanctuary/tiger reserve (about 2750 sq km) and explains its name from the abundance of semul (silk cotton) trees. Historical accounts also trace its evolution from royal hunting grounds to protected-area status and later conservation designations.
