Tourist Places To Visit In Similipal National Park

Simlipal National Park is one of India ’s largest wildlife sanctuaries and is located in the Mayurbhanj district of Orissa . Spread over an area of 845 sq. km, the national park includes three protected regions – the Simlipal Tiger Reserve, the Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary and the Hadgarh Wildlife Sanctuary. The park is home to almost a hundred tigers and more than 400 elephants, with numerous other species of wildlife that attracts nature lovers from all over the country. Apart from its impressive biodiversity, the scenic landscapes and picturesque meadows of Simplipal make it the perfect spot for vacationers looking to spend some quality time in nature’s lap. Read on to know some more about the best places to visit around Simlipal National Park.

Barehipani & Joranda Waterfalls

At a height of almost 500 m, the Barehipani Falls are the second highest waterfalls in the country and one of the main attractions of Simlipal National Park. It is created by the Budhabalanga River as it meanders over the Meghasan mountain. During peak season, crowds can always be seen gathered around the picturesque two-tiered waterfalls trying to capture the perfect picture. The Joranda Falls are situated close to the Barehipani and fall from a height of 152 m that starts off as a single stream and spreads out at the bottom. The area around the majestic falls is a fantastic place to just spend some time admiring the beauty of the surroundings, or even enjoy a picnic with family and friends.

Devkunda Pond

The Devkunda Pond is a naturally created water body that receives a steady inflow from a waterfall located nearby. The name Devkunda translates to ‘the bathing spot of gods’; it holds significant religious importance for the local Hindus who bathe in the water to receive the blessings of the gods as well. In addition to this charming pond, a small temple dedicated to the deity Ambika is situated on a hill nearby that was constructed by Rajkumar Prafulla, a researcher and king of Mayurbhaj during the period of British occupation of India .  

The centre of Ramatirtha is known best for its Mugger Management Program – a Mugger crocodile conservation farm situated on the banks of the Khairi river. The eggs and young crocodile offspring were initially brought in from Tamil Nadu and have been bred in this centre since 1984. So far, the program has managed to release 600 crocodiles into the wild in Simlipal.

Chahala is a spot in Simlipal National Park that is known for being one of the best locations for deer, elephant and peacock sightings, among other fascinating species. It is situated along the border of the Simplipal Tiger Reserve, and is also known for occasional sightings of the Bengal tiger. There is also a forest lodge here that is available to visitors for accommodation needs.

Baripada is the headquarters of Mayurbhanj district. It also serves as the junction town where travellers arrive before moving on to any one of the entry points to the park, and is a wonderful place to spend some time in before visiting Simlipal. Known most for its background in cultural arts, Baripada is well known for the Chhau dance form; most of the Oriya celebrities have their origins in Baripada. This town celebrates its regional festivals with a lot of grandeur, especially Chaitra Parva – the chariot journey of the deity Subhadra, which is carried around town exclusively by the women of the region. Don't forget to visit the well known Jagannath Temple that is one of the highlights of Baripada.

• Ticket price
• Natural beauty
• Attractions

History of Similipal National Park

The biodiverse region of the Simlipal National Park and Tiger Reserve was once a hunting ground for the then royalties who used to rule the place. Then in 1956, it got a formal designation as a tiger reserve. Later, in May 1973 it was under the Project Tiger.

The “Mugger Crocodile Scheme” was initiated in 1979. Simlipal was then declared as a Wildlife Sanctuary by the Government of Odisha in the same year. At that time the sanctuary covered an area of 2200 sq. kilometers. Then again in 1980, the State Government proposed to make a part of the sanctuary a National Park, and the park’s area was expanded in the following years.

Then again, the State Government proposed a certain portion of land to be the National Park in 1980. The area of the park was increased in the latter years and was also recognized as a biosphere reserve by the Indian Government. It also joined the World Network of Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in 2009.

Many people live within the park’s boundaries, which is why Simlipal is not yet a fully developed national park. It is one of the 18 biospheres of the Indian subcontinent and boasts a rich and diverse wildlife.

The natural beauty of Similipal National Park

Nature’s charms are always promising. In Simlipal, there is silence in the atmosphere but this harmoniously blends with the sounds of the animals and birds. Rolling hills and sprawling forestland make the landscape magical. Through the terrain, the river streams make their way very smoothly, adding to the place’s charm.

The park has two distinctive zones: the Southern and Northern zones. Both these zones are absolutely different in terms of their beauty and panorama. The southern zone exhibits highlands like Khariburu and Meghasani. This is also the core region of the park. The northern zone is mostly for tourists. It has mesmerizing sloping mountains and alluring destinations such as Joranda, Barehipani, Lulung, and Sitakund.

The mind-boggling surrounding of the park looks like a mystical land. Flora and fauna contribute to the main beauty of this place. Being in the eastern highland, the biome includes moist deciduous forest, tropical moist deciduous forest, dry deciduous hill forest, sal forest, and tropical moist broadleaf forest. The perching sunrays through the canopy of the trees give the park a characteristic look.

Another feature is the stretched grassland and the savannas. It exactly looks like the one that we generally see on the National Geographic channel. The fresh aroma fills the air which generally comes from the aromatic and medicinal plants of the region.

Speaking of the fauna, the park and the protected area have their soul due to them. There is a tiger, sambar, leopard, chausingha, giant squirrel, Mugger Crocodile, etc. The colorful creatures like the Malabar pied hornbill, gray hornbill, Indian trogon, etc, are also very impressive.

The national park is also famed for its waterfalls which blend perfectly into this nature’s paradise. Way more beauty hides in the woodlands that will take you over in all different ways.

Attractions at Similipal National Park

Simlipal National Park is home to many attractions. Some of them are:

Joranda Falls : This remarkable waterfall cascades down from a height of 181 meters. It gushes down in a single drop and creates an enchanting scene. This is one of the highest falls in India and a prime attraction of the park.

Barehipani Falls : The water of this fall cascades down in two tiers with a total elevation of 217 meters. A dramatic effect can be seen as it flows through the rugged rocks and ends in a broad pool. This is the second-highest waterfall in India and a must-see for visitors.

Devkund or Debakunda : This is a naturally formed pool created by the adjacent waterfall. The meaning of the lake translates to the bathtub of gods and goddesses and it is considered sacred by the locals. The pool is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a serene atmosphere.

Lulung : It is one of the entry points to the park and a scenic picnic spot. It provides breathtaking views of the landscape and the crystal-clear waters of the river. You can relax here and enjoy the true beauty of nature.

Chahala: It is a destination in the northern zone of the park where wildlife can be spotted. Here, you can see animals like mongoose, peacocks, langurs, and spotted deer in their natural habitat.

Best time to visit Similipal National Park

The best time to visit the Simlipal National Park is from the beginning of December till the end of February. During this time, the weather remains cool and soothing. This creates a perfect environment for all the escapades.

Winter is also when the flora is in its full spirit and you will be able to find a lot of fauna. This is the time when the animals come out into the open thereby giving you the best opportunity to witness them.

The park is open from November to June. Summer months are not at all recommended as the temperature can reach up to 40 ̊C.

Places to stay in Similipal National Park

The Similipal National Park provides you with several options where you can stay the night. There are several Eco Retreat camps and Nature Camps within the park’s boundaries.

Some of them are,

• Silimipal Nature Camp
• Sitakund forest Resort
• Barehipani Guest House

You can book them through the official website of Odisha Forest Development Corporation at ecotourodisha.com .

Simlipal National Park is a must-visit if you want a revitalizing spot with some fun. The site is also for the photographers out there.

Get away from the crowded city life for a few days and spend some joyous moments in the wilderness. Hit the road and indulge in some memories that will be with you forever. The best part, it is quite easy to reach.

Happy Journey!

A Visit to Simlipal National Park | Driving along the forest trails and staying in a Nature Camp

• Post author: Subhadeep Mondal
• Post last modified: June 29, 2021
• Reading time: 26 mins read

“Sir, it will be dark when we reach Chahala. You can not see any animals there”, said chandan.

“I know, but I will go to all the nature camps once. I will take only five minutes, take a couple of snaps and then we will drive out”, I promptly replied.

Well, I was keen on seeing animals too; but, it’s the sound and the smell that I love about a jungle; the sight always comes last.

I was in love with Simlipal forest since I first went inside two days before this journey. The entry was not through the official forest gates but across the tribal villages near Bangriposi.

We were on our way to see Brahman Kund from Bangriposi. Brahman Kund is located at the outskirt of Simlipal Forest.

When we entered the forest, the sun already hid behind the hills. And on the fading light of dusk, the dense rows of tall Sal trees evoke a sense of adventure while we drive through the forest in our own car.

The adventure did not last long, and we came back without reaching Brahman Kund as it would be dark on the way. Because finding our way back would be tough as we didn’t have any local person with us.

But that short-lived feeling of peace and solitude while crossing through the Simlipal Forest in the fading daylight initiates a sense of urgency that we must stay inside Simlipal National Park; a day trip would not please our souls.

So, at that very moment, we decided that we would stay inside a Nature Camp in Simlipal Forest. Although we fixed the exact place a day later after discussing with Mr Wazid Hossain who provided us with the car for the jungle trip.

Our Alto K10 was not allowed to go inside the forest, so we rented a Bolero from Wazid Saab for the entire safari and booked our night stay in Jamuani Eco camp (courtesy: Sk. Wazid Hossain)

Sk. Wazid Hossain; Hello Tour & Travels; Phone – 09437266828 / 08018868898 ; email – [email protected]

Places to see inside the Simlipal National Park

So, while our booking was in Jamuani Nature Camp for the night, the plan was to reach there after seeing all the jungle’s sightseeing points.

Although visiting all the other nature camps was not part of sightseeing, I was interested in visiting them all out of curiosity.

We already visited Ramtirtha Nature Camp the day before while in Jashipur and were going to stay in Jamuani Camp that night.

So, we planned to visit the usual places inside the forest with the other three nature camps. The list was as follows –

• Chahala watchtower
• Joranda Waterfall
• Nawana Valley
• Barehipani Waterfall
• Barehipani Nature Camp
• Uski Waterfall
• Kumari Nature Camp
• Gurguria Nature Camp
• Gurguria Orchidarium

(we went to all the above places in reverse order)

What did we miss to add to the list?

We missed a couple of places more, and those are Lulung and Sitakund waterfall. Both of them are close to Pithabata, which is the other entry gate to Simlipal National Park.

But Pithabata is exactly on the opposite end and approximately 90 kilometres from Jashipur through the jungle, so we skipped it despite our next day destination being Baripada which was closer to Pithabata.

The reason being, we kept our car in Jashipur before entering the jungle, so we had to exit the jungle from the Jashipur side.

Getting The Permit

Getting the permit for Simlipal National Park is not a daunting task. Mr Wazid had arranged it for us by visiting Jashipur Forest Office in the morning.

You can get your permit from the office between 6 am – 9 am the same day with the required documents (Aadhar Card / Voter ID Card). I have mentioned the necessary details and permit charges at the end of this article.

The journey inside Simlipal National Park

So, the journey begins at 8 am…..

Once we had our permit from Jashipur Forest Office, we started at 7:30 in the morning from our hotel in Jashipur.

We had our breakfast in Jashipur market and started driving towards Kaliani gate at 8 am. Chandan was the pilot of our car and our guide for the coming 26 hours.

The initial part of the road was on a smooth pitch road until we crossed the entry gate at Kaliani, followed by another gate at Kalikaprasad after three kilometres.

Then the roads become dusty jungle trails all along covered with red soil. We were driving beside the Khairi river for the initial few kilometres, which originates in this forest and flows towards Jashipur.

Our first planned stop was Uski waterfall until I told Chandan that we would go to the orchidarium beside Gurguria nature Camp.

On the way, we saw two huge Sal trees (Shorea robusta), which were more than 300 years old, as mentioned by Forest Department.

“Guruguria Orchidarium and Nature Camp – our first stop”

The Gurguria Orchidarium is located behind the Nature Camp. It has a wide variety of Orchids seen in higher reaches of Simlipal National park.

The nurseryman told us that they collect all these orchids from different parts of the Simlipal Forest and trying to grow them here in the orchidarium. There are nearly 100 different Orchid species in this forest.

Gurguria Nature Camp has a few cottages where guests can stay. But what I really like is the beautiful Pine Forest beside the camp where guests can take a walk and enjoy nature. The Khairi river flows beside the orchidarium.

Kumari Nature Camp at the end of the village road

Kumari Nature Camp is beside a tribal village of the same name, one of the few tribal villages inside the Simlipal National Park buffer area.

This camp has a large compound with 12 cottages and a couple of newly built Machaan for staying.

The camp is surrounded by paddy fields on three sides and bordered by a village road on one side. The hills covered with the forest is at the end of the farming lands.

Uski Waterfall – the first waterfall we saw in Simlipal National Park

Uski waterfall is another 15 kilometres from the Kumari nature Camp.

We had to walk through the jungle for a few hundred metres before we can reach the waterfall.

Uski is a small waterfall at the heart of the jungle surrounded by tall Sal trees.

There was no one except us, and the crackling sound of dry Sal leaves while we walked on them was penetrating the jungle’s silence until we could hear the sound of the gushing water stream of Uski waterfall.

The majestic Barehipani Waterfall and the Barehipani Nature Camp

Barehipani Waterfall is one of the most beautiful places inside Simlipal National Park.

It is the 2nd highest waterfall in India. The Burha Balanga river plunges 400 metres in two tiers and created this waterfall.

The nature camp is 5 kilometres away from the watchtower near Barehipani waterfall. Barehipani Nature camp is the closest to the core area of Simlipal National Park.

Driving through Nawana Valley and reaching Joranda Waterfall

After Barehipani waterfall, we drove towards Joranda waterfall, which was another 20 kilometres ahead of Barehipani.

We crossed Nawana valley on the way and entered Nawana beat. Joranda waterfall is inside this part of the jungle. Joranda waterfall is also quite high but not as much as Barehipani.

The water stream jumps from a cliff approximately 150 metres in height, and the side view from the viewpoint allows visitors to see a rainbow at the mid-part of this waterfall due to scattered waterdrops.

Driving inside the Core Area of Simlipal National Park

Finally, after watching Joranda Waterfall, we came back and crossed Barehipani Nature Camp on the way and entered the forest’s core area.

The 30 minutes drive through the core area was a beautiful experience. The chirping sound of birds, the occasional call of peacocks, the aroma of the dry fallen leaves with the new yellow leaves in Sal trees signifying the arrival of spring and the sight of dead tree trunks among the dense Sal forest mimicking the shape of a wild animal kept us looking through the layers of the jungle with wide-open eyes.

We anticipated a sudden appearance of an elephant or a tiger somewhere behind those trees, but things did not happen that way.

We could see a couple of spotted deers, a chausingha (four-horned antelope), wild boars, giant squirrels, grey langurs, wild cats and a huge king cobra.

Reached our camp at Jamuani

After crossing Brundaban Gate, we had to drive another 14 kilometres to reach our camp. We reached Jamuani Nature Camp at 4 pm.

The Camp is in a large compound near Jamuani village. There were 14 cottages altogether inside with a volleyball and a badminton court and lots of open spaces. The cottages are pretty large, with decent sized bathrooms.

We read about the wildfire in Simlipal National Park in the newspaper before our visit and saw a fire truck inside our camp as soon as we entered through the gate.

The firefighters who were busy putting off the wildfire in Simlipal for the last few days stayed in Jamuani Nature Camp. We came to know that the fire got under control only two days back, and the team was staying inside to interrupt any more incidence before it becomes catastrophic.

There was no mobile network inside the camp and no television in the cottages. It was a day detached from all our urban connections, a perfect digital detox in the lap of nature.

We quickly checked in our cottage and had our lunch in the restaurant where the kitchen staff served nice homely foods.

Visiting Chahala watchtower at sunset and the night safari thereafter

After lunch, again, we drove towards the Chahala watchtower. It was the same route till Brundaban Gate, and then we had to take a left turn towards Chahala, which was 3 kilometres ahead.

Chandan told us about his experience confronting a group of elephants on this trail. The group of elephants blocked his car while he was coming back from Chahala. He was scared that he turned his Bolero and drove back to the Forest Bungalow in chahala.

In the soft light of sunset, from the Chahala watchtower, we spotted around 10-15 deers near the salt pit. We waited there until the darkness crept in.

And then the best part of our Simlipal jungle safari began.

Remember the story of Chandan about the herd of elephants on the trail between Brundaban gate and Chahala?

We already started imagining ourselves in a similar kind of situation. But we could not apprehend any movement of any wildlife in front of the headlights of your Bolero for the entire stretch.

Chandan was very determined to show us more wildlife. So, he took us to another round of safari inside the core area from Brundaban gate towards the Barehipani for 2 kilometres.

“You know, sir, last month, while taking the guests to Jamuani Camp from Chahala, we saw a tiger lying on the road minutes after we crossed the Brundaban gate. It was right in front of our car, blocking the road and did not bother to move for 5 minutes. I froze the headlight at him until he stood up and walked away lazily.” said Chandan.

“WOW!! Hope he comes back again and blocks our road too!!”, Jayeeta, my wife, replied delightedly.

But this time, I was silent. Although the story sounded extremely adventurous, I prayed it not happen with us.

I was not ready to face this adventure with my wife and my seven years old kid right beside me. I guess any sensible family man would think the same way.

And my prayer was heard by the almighty this time. We did not see any tiger blocking our road.

And the 15 kilometres drive from Brundavan gate to Jamuani nature camp at night was the most memorable part of the safari for me inside Simlipal National Park.

A morning in Simlipal National Park

The next day morning, I went to Chahala watchtower again to explore the jungle in the morning.

The animal sighting was the same, with more deers spotted in different parts of the forest.

But the best experience was the chat I had with the forest officer of the Chahala Forest Bungalow, who told me about Maghasani, which is one of the highest peaks in Simlipal National Park.

Located in the Simlipal south division, Meghasani has the most concentrated wildlife inside Simlipal National Park.

The chances of an animal sighting are much more there, but tourists’ entry is not allowed on that route.

Rightly so, the fewer men will enter these places, and the more safe these animals will be.

He told me the story of a tiger who came to the Chahala salt pit during the last monsoon and wounded a bison and carried it inside the jungle.

He also shared his experiences about his first posting in Meghasani for 2 years, where he confronted tigers and other wild animals from a distance of 10 feet.

It was a great conversation over the morning tea, which I would love to continue. Still, as we had to check out Jamuani on that day,

I ended the conversation with my apologies and adieu him goodbye.

Finally, the end of our trip to Simlipal Forest

After breakfast, we checked out in Jamuani Nature Camp. The distance from Jamuani Nature Camp to Tulasibani Gate is approximately 15 kilometres.

Tulasibani Gate is only used to exit from Simlipal National Park. The road after Tulasibani merges with NH6 from where Jashipur is another 10 kilometres.

The road looks more beautiful with the memories of the day we spent in Simlipal National Park.

While we were driving towards Jashipur, the Simlipal forest was on our left and Badampahar Hill Range on our right.

Finally, we reached Jashipur after another 15 minutes drive. We collected our car in Jashipur and said goodbye to Chandan.

Then we started our journey towards Baripada with a promise that we will come back again.

How to reach Simlipal National Park

You can enter Simlipal National Park from two sides – Baripada and Jashipur, both in the Mayurbhanj district in Odisha.

The gate near Baripada is Pithabata and the gate near Jasipur is Kaliani. You can enter through any of the gates and come out through the other.

Pithabata is 30 minutes drive from Baripada, whereas Kaliani is 20 minutes drive from Jashipur.

Jashipur comes on NH6 that runs from Kolkata to Mumbai. Baripada is in between NH6 and NH5 and almost equidistant from each of them.

The distance from Baripada to Kolkata and Bhubaneswar are 220 and 250 kilometres, respectively, whereas Jashipur is 270 and 230 kilometres away from Kolkata and Bhubaneswar.

Bhubaneswar is the only airport in Odisha which is well connected to both Baripada and Jashipur. Baripada is also connected by trains from Balasore that comes on the main south-eastern railway network.

When to visit Simlipal National Park

Simlipal National Park is open to visitors from November to mid-June. The best time to visit is between November to February, when the temperature is pleasant (between 13 o C-25 o C), and the chances of animal sightings are more.

During the summer months of March to May, Odisha experiences extreme temperatures (ranges between 22 o C-40 o C).

The animals avoid coming out to wide-open places in the daytime when they can be seen clearly.

From June onwards, the monsoon relieves the summer heat, but the jungle gets closed till November.

Where to stay

You can visit Simlipal National Park on a full-day trip staying in Jashipur, Baripada or Bangriposi.

If you plan to go for a day trip, then Baripada would be a better place to stay as it has more options for accommodation.

Jashipur has only a few budget guesthouses, and food options are also limited. There are only a few roadside dhabas where you can have lunch or dinner.

But if you want to stay in the nature camps inside Simlipal National Park, as we did, then you should go via Jashipur.

The nature camps are closer to Jashipur. Odisha Eco-Tourism Department runs five nature camps inside the Simlipal Forest. They are – Ramtirtha, Gurguria, kumari, Jamuani and Beharapani Nature Camp.

Ramtirtha is almost at Jashipur town while the others are inside the buffer area of Simlipal forest. You can book your nature camp online .

Thanks a ton Subhadeep.All the information provided by you will be of great help.And I also see you have lot of unexplored gems of eastern India on your blog.Would come back again 🙂

Hi, You have given some really good details about Simlipal.I have a query.If you can answer,it will be of great help.I want to visit the park (more for the forest than for the sightings) in Jan 1st week.My father is paralysed on his right side and travels with a wheelchair.Will it be possible for him to do the above trip.I understand that he will have to miss a few things like visiting the waterfall etc but can he visit the park.Will the safari guys give him assistance while boarding and deboarding the jeep? Not sure if you are the right person to answer this,but if you are able to I will be greatful.Thanks 🙂 Varsha

I think he will enjoy visiting the park. And probably will get a glimpse of two spectacular waterfalls from his wheelchair itself (although the water level will be far less during January). And definitely, he will love to spend a morning in Chahala. It will be better if you can stay in one of the Eco-Tourism camps inside the buffer area of Simlipal Forest. Usually, the car drivers and guides are very helpful there. I have provided details of one contact person who made the transport arrangement for us, as well as the Odisha Eco-Tourism forest camp booking. You can contact him as well. Of course, you can make the booking on your own through the Odisha Eco-Tourism website as well and take your own car inside if it’s an SUV. The entry permit can be obtained from the Pithabata or Joshipur Forest Office in accordance with the side you are entering inside the forest.

How to buy madonna tickets for 2024 tour.

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

Madonna is wrapping up her current concert tour over the next few days with a trilogy of shows in Mexico City. Prices have been climbing over recent days, so you'll have to be sharp if you want to buy Madonna tickets for these dates while you can for the The Celebration Tour.

Before she takes her final bow of the Celebration Tour concert series in April 2024, Madonna will have performed 52 shows across 27 cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico. While many dates earlier in the tour were available for under $100, these final dates will cost you at least $245 at the time of writing. Still, it's a few grand cheaper than the Swifties have been paying this year.

• More events: Olivia Rodrigo tickets | Taylor Swift tickets | Adele tickets | Rolling Stones tickets

With the concert series being a retrospective celebration of her iconic career, The Celebration Tour's setlist unsurprisingly includes plenty of Madonna's timeless hits. Songs like "Like a Prayer," "Vogue," "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," and "Like a Virgin" have been performed across various dates on her tour.

We've got you covered if you're still looking for tickets to Madonna's Celebration Tour. Here's our breakdown of Madonna's remaining 2024 tour schedule, purchasing details, and original and resale ticket prices. You can also browse the available tickets for sale on StubHub and Vivid Seats at your leisure.

Madonna 2024 tour schedule

All concert times are listed in local time zones.

How to buy tickets for Madonna's 2024 concert tour

Madonna tickets have been on sale for a while now, so all original ones via Ticketmaster are long gone.

However, Madonna tickets are still available through verified resale vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats .

How much do Madonna tickets cost?

The price for standard original tickets to Madonna's 2024 tour varies depending on date, location, and demand. For example, concert dates in major cities like New York City tend to be more expensive.

Standard original tickets still available on Ticketmaster a few weeks ago  were comparable to prices on verified resale platforms. However, the remaining original tickets have all been snapped up though, so resale vendors are your only hope now.

The Celebration Tour originally had VIP tickets available for premium prices. Madonna's 2024 concert series had The Immaculate VIP Package, Iconic VIP Package), You Can Dance Premium Ticket Package, and Where's The Party Premium Ticket Package. The prices for original tickets for each package on Ticketmaster started at $1,750, $895, $545, and $475, respectively.

Who is opening for Madonna's tour?

Madonna has not announced any additional opening acts for her 2024 concert dates. However, the artist is joined by Bob the Drag Queen, a special guest in each of her shows, who helps introduce the concert and interacts with Madonna as the emcee.

Madonna's 2024 tour began with the international leg in Europe, so the only remaining concerts in The Celebration Tour outside the United States are in Mexico.

In April, she'll have five performances in Mexico City, where she'll take her final bow of The Celebration Tour on April 26.

Swifties who want to snag tickets to Taylor Swift’s colossal Eras Tour know the experience won’t come cheap.

So, how else can fans see one of the world’s biggest singers? Go abroad .

In the past 30 days, searches for ‘Taylor Swift Europe tour 2024 tickets’ have increased by 300% in the U.S., indicating that some people are ready to take a long-haul flight to see the wildly popular artist live, according to travel website Islands.com .

Was the travel worth it? Beyoncé and Taylor Swift's summer concerts drew fans from afar

To determine the most affordable Eras Tour stops, Islands.com researchers compared the cost of a two-night trip, including one cheap ticket on StubHub.com, two nights at a four-star hotel, six inexpensive meals, two five-mile taxi rides, and one domestic beer. However, researchers didn’t account for airline tickets or concert merchandise.

With safety at the top of travelers' minds, the researchers also factored in the city’s safety rating out of 100. 

To stay extra safe, the State Department encourages travelers to register with the U.S. embassy in the country they're visiting any time they travel abroad. That can be done at step.state.gov .

Learn about a biblical story or live out your 'Evan Almighty' dreams at the Ark Encounter

You might remember "Evan Almighty," the comedy film starring actors Morgan Freeman and Steve Carell that shows the modern tale of Noah's Ark. Freeman, who plays God, challenges Carell's character to build an ark and bring two of each animal species aboard prior to the flood.

While the ark featured in the film is located in Virginia, there's something pretty similar in the Bluegrass State, allowing Kentuckians to see inside the Biblical tale.

Ark Encounter, located in Williamstown, is less than two hours from Louisville. Here's what we know:

What is Noah's Ark?

Noah's Ark is a Biblical story from the Book of Genesis in which God commanded Noah and his family to build an ark to escape a dangerous flood he would send to wipe out the land, according to churchofjesuschrist.org. Noah was asked to put two animals of each species on the boat so they could repopulate once the flood water receded.

What is the Ark Encounter in Kentucky?

Kentucky's Ark Encounter primarily features a full-size replica of Noah's Ark from the Biblical story on its grounds, as well as a zoo, restaurant and zip lining courses.

Stretching more than 500 feet in length, 80 feet in width and 50 feet in height, the creation attracts a diverse range of visitors.

The ark itself features three floors. The first discusses the size of the ark itself, in addition to the types of animals aboard, while the second looks at "the pre-flood world, animal concerns, and an exploration of Noah and how God could have prepared him for his monumental task." The third floor showcases living quarters for Noah and his family, flood geology and a special exhibit.

Where is Ark Encounter?

Ark Encounter is located in Williamstown, in Grant County, halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington, and right off I-75. The address is 1 Ark Encounter Drive.

Volvo’s low-cost EX30 EV is already living up to its promise to deliver profitable growth

Despite its compact size, Volvo’s low-cost EX30 is already making a big impact. After launching just months ago, the new Volvo EX30 is already living up to its promise of delivering profitable growth.

Volvo’s low-cost EX30 is already making an impact

“We have had a strong start to the year, with our first quarter results laying a solid foundation for the year ahead,” Volvo CEO Jim Rowan said Wednesday.

Volvo set a new global sales record in the first quarter of 2024, fueled by growing demand for its fully electric vehicles.

After being one of the first legacy automakers to commit to an all-electric future, the results speak for themselves.

In the first quarter, Volvo had a 100% electrified (including PHEVs) sales share in 18 markets, up from 15 in Q4. Fully electric vehicles accounted for over 40% of sales share in 19 markets, up from 13 in Q4.

Volvo’s new fully electric small SUV, the EX30, contributed to the sales growth, according to Björn Annwall, Volvo Cars’ chief commercial officer & deputy CEO.

The EX30 helped push Volvo’s EV share of sales to a record 21% in Q1 2024 . Volvo sold 14,500 EX30 models in the first three months of the year, topping the EC40 (6,000) while closing in on the EX40 (17,400).

Delivering profitable growth

Volvo set a new all-time sales record in March as it ramps up EX30 deliveries. Perhaps, more importantly, its new electric SUV is helping improve margins.

Volvo’s EV margins improved to 16%, up from 7% a year ago and 13% in Q4. The EX30 “has lived up to its promise of being a profitable growth driver” in just a few months since launching.

In the first three months of 2024, “thousands of customers across Europe got behind the wheel of an EX30,” as Volvo prepares to expand deliveries in key markets like the US, China, Canada, and South Korea.

The EX30 will be sold in over 90 countries by the end of the year. With an expanding EV lineup, Volvo expects strong demand in 2024.

Volvo began production of its first electric minivan, the EM90, for China, with deliveries kicking off in March. In addition, Volvo plans to start building its three-row EX90 electric SUV in the first half of the year.

Volvo’s electric vehicle lineup will include the EX30, EX40, EC40, EM90, and EX90. With a balanced portfolio of electrified models, the brand expects to navigate industry headwinds.

With three new electric models in key segments, Volvo expects demand to “remain robust” over the next few quarters. Volvo expects full-year sales growth of at least 15% in 2024.

Volvo believes revenues can reach SEK 550-600 billion ($50B to $55B) with an EBIT margin above 8% during 2026.

Top comment by Grant

US availability estimates summer of 2024. Starts at 35k. Range is 210 for base model. 300 long range. May want to add that to the article because those are needed to understand what Volvo is doing here. I think Volvo is going to do really well with this vehicle.

In the first quarter, revenue fell 2% to SEK 93.9 billion ($8.6B). Volvo said revenue was weighed down by contract manufacturing. Meanwhile, operating profit (excluding JVs) rose 8% to SEK 6.8 billion ($625M).

Although overall operating income (including JVs) fell to SEK 4.7 billion ($435M) in Q1, Volvo said it was due to lower revenues at Polestar.

Electrek’s Take

As Electrek has said, Volvo’s early commitment to going all-electric continues to pay off. Not only did Volvo’s EV sales share reach 21% in Q1, but BEV margins are also improving.

With new electric models launching in key segments globally, Volvo expects strong demand in 2024. The automaker will be one to keep an eye on as the industry shifts to electric.
