The monsoon closures of core zones in tiger reserves impact tourists planning safaris during July to September. Visitors may face limited access to high-density tiger zones, reducing the likelihood of sightings. Additionally, the seasonal closures on specific days, such as Wednesday afternoons and major festivals like Holi and Diwali, can disrupt plans. Travellers unaware of these restrictions risk missing out on safaris entirely. The high demand for permits in popular zones also creates challenges, as they sell out quickly, leaving late planners with limited options.
