What is Premium Tatkal Permit Booking?

It acts as a second-chance opportunity to get a confirmed safari permit even when regular slots are already full.
With limited seats released under this quota, the Premium Tatkal system ensures that last-minute travelers can still explore Bandhavgarh’s stunning landscapes and experience its world-famous tiger sightings.
