Mysore/Mysuru: All non-Karnataka (KA)registered vehicles entering the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve (NTR) through various entry points including Mysuru will have to pay a cleaning fee. The order has been implemented from Feb. 1, 2023, much to the chagrin of vehicle owners and drivers from neighbouring Kerala who use the roads regularly.
A cleaning fee of Rs. 20 is being levied from all non-KA vehicles. While Light Motor Vehicles (LMV) are paying Rs. 20, heavy vehicles are paying Rs. 50 per entry. Most of the vehicles towards Kerala enter the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve limits through the Anechowkur Gate on the Kodagu-Mysuru border and on average, over 5,000 vehicles use this road to travel between the two States.
