The park has a series of hides and watchtowers and these can be occupied before sunset so as to observe the large varieties of animals that come to the water. Occasionally a tiger or leopard can also be seen. Due to the presence of monuments of religious importance located within the park boundaries, the park authorities are compelled to keep the park open throughout the year. Unfortunately, the only restrictions they are able to impose during this "off-season" period are those on entry into the jungle routes. The main road is kept open all year round..
