The park is home to Bengal Tigers, leopards, sloth bears, Indian bison (gaur), wild dogs, sambar deer, and over 300 species of birds including the magnificent Indian Pitta and crested serpent eagle. Gourissa Resort’s prime location right next to the Madhai Gate ensures guests have the fastest and most convenient access to the park for both morning and evening safaris. The resort’s experienced guides and naturalists accompany every game drive, bringing the forest to life with their expert knowledge and passion for wildlife.
