An area of 845.70 sq km spread across 11 ranges of Similipal south and Similipal north divisions was declared as national park, making Similipal the second protected area to be declared a national park after Bhitarkanika in the state. It's also the 107th national park of India.

Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, who made an announcement to this effect on Thursday, said Similipal is now the 107th national park in the country. It is also the largest national park in Odisha at 845.70 square km, he said.
