    Thank you very much for such a nice information about polo utsav. I would like to know about the dates from which the festival will start and will remain open for general public. One more thing; is it require to get any prior permission to visit polo forest area or to stay at polo festival. Is polo forest safe to plan a trip for family?

      Thank you Vijay for writing us, Actually the information about polo festival dates is still not available with us. It just started from today, i.e 5th January 2017 and opening ceremony is held today. Once we have more information, we will update this post.

      Regarding to safety and permission, there is no permission require to visit polo forest which is open for all. Regarding to safely, there is no issue found but make sure you don’t go deep in jungle without guide or local help.
