When did you go there last Rahul as some blogs say vehicles are not allowed in there. Thanks !
Hi Rajesh,
I visited the place some time in February of 2014 .
I am not sure if they have changed the rule recently .
But nothing to worry about it.
This is a very small sanctuary you can take a walk .
We also parked vehicle after sometime and took a stroll on trails.
I have visited sanctuary on 2 nd Aug 2015. Allowed to take your own vehicle inside after proper registration at the gate. Also you can walk.
