Jhalana forest to become a wildlife sanctuary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nThe department has fixed the rates for how much maximum amount of money gypsies can charge visitors.<\/p>\n
\u201cA gypsy can\u2019t charge more than Rs 16,00 and can\u2019t accommodate more than six people,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n
Jorihar said that a complaint could be made with the police if gypsies charged more than the fixed price.<\/p>\n
So here is how people coming to visit Jhalana will have to pay:<\/p>\n
Gypsy charge:<\/strong> 16,00<\/p>\nGypsy entry fee:<\/strong> 300<\/p>\nVisitor (per person) entry fee:<\/strong> Rs Rs 50 for domestic tourist, Rs 300 for foreign tourist and Rs 20 for students.<\/p>\nA group of six tourists from India will now pay Rs 2200 to visit Jhalana.<\/p>\n
The new rates will come into effect from Monday (May 15, 2017).<\/p>\n
Earlier, tourists were charged Rs 350 to take their own cars into the jungle. Besides, the forest department charged Rs 100 and Rs 800 per person as entry fee for domestic and foreign tourists respectively. But from April 25, the ticket price will go up dramatically as tourists will have to hire gypsies to be provided by a private contractor.<\/p>\n
Spread over 33 sq km east of Jaipur, the Jhalana forest area is said to have 20 leopards and panthers. Located barely 3.5 km from the World Trade Park, the forest, over the years has become a favourite leopard sighting destination.<\/p>\n
