Around 22 km from Baripada in Mayurbhanj district, Similipal National Park is one of India's larger tiger reserves and packs in forests, wildlife sightings, and bird-watching into a day trip of about five hours. November through March are the recommended months, when forest trails are walkable and wildlife activity tends to be easier to observe.
