This refuge provides interested visitors with the chance to take Gypsy safari rides, but reservations must be made through the appropriate operators.

These safari excursions allow you to see insects in their natural habitats and hear the sounds of birds, chirping, and the swaying of Sal trees and tall bamboo shoots.

In addition to this, you might encounter sloth bears, four-horned antelopes, barking deer, white-rumped vultures, peafowl, and racket-tailed drongos.

It has a spread of dense, lush green foliage, which is necessary for herbivores, birds, and insects to survive. Although there are no tiger populations living here permanently, it has been shown that they move from nearby forested regions to this sanctuary.
