Tips for Visiting Tandooreh National Park

  • Hire a local guide familiar with the park's steep trails and wildlife; leopard sightings are rare and best attempted with someone who knows the terrain.
  • Spring (April-May) brings wildflowers and clearer days; avoid late summer monsoon periods when trails can be slippery.
  • Carry cash and basic supplies - infrastructure in the park is minimal and amenities are limited.
