A New Tiger Safari Will Be Constructed On A 160-acre Plot At The Jangal Mahal
In a major boost to eco-tourism and wildlife conservation, the West Bengal Budget 2026 has announced plans to develop a new Tiger Safari across 160 acres in the Jangal Mahal region. The project is expected to emerge as a significant tourist attraction while promoting awareness about wildlife conservation and the rich biodiversity of western West Bengal.
The proposed safari park will provide visitors with an opportunity to observe tigers and other wildlife species in a carefully designed natural habitat. Authorities are expected to develop modern visitor facilities, interpretation centers, safari routes, and eco-friendly infrastructure to ensure an immersive and educational wildlife experience.
Located in the forested landscape of Jangal Mahal, the project aims to leverage the region's natural environment to create a world-class eco-tourism destination. The safari is expected to complement existing tourism attractions in Purulia, Jhargram, Bankura, and Paschim Medinipur, drawing visitors from across India and beyond.
Apart from promoting tourism, the initiative is likely to generate substantial economic benefits for local communities through employment opportunities in hospitality, transportation, forest management, and tourism-related services. Increased visitor footfall could also support local businesses, handicrafts, and rural entrepreneurship in the region.
