The forest department has been running safari visits in jeeps for the tourists to enjoy wild flora and fauna.
Last evening, a tiger suddenly came to the roadside even as the tourists gaped at the rare sighting from the vehicle.
“One can even see an elephant but it is rare to see wildlife like tigers and leopards during such visits. We are so thrilled to spot a tiger crossing the road and then rolling down on the grass by the side of the road” one of the tourists said.
