The Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) and the Simlipal Wildlife Sanctuary would remain closed to visitors from June 16 in view of the monsoons, official sources said today.
According to STR Field Director M Mohon, the closure is a routine affair every year.
Mohan said the date of reopening of the STR and sanctuary will be notified later, after the monsoon ends.
The STR attracts thousands of domestic as well as international tourists with its varied flora and fauna along with breathtaking waterfalls and vast species of wild lives including the black Melanistic Royal Bengal Tiger.
