Planning For A Trip To Dudhwa Tiger Reserve?

Dudhwa Tiger National Park is in the Uttar Pradesh districts of Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, and Bahraich. It is one of the best examples of the Terai ecosystems, which are extremely diverse and productive. It was established in September 2008 based on its unique ecosystem, which includes vast open spaces and enough food for elegant predators. The reserve’s northern boundary runs along the Indo-Nepal border, while the reserve’s southern boundary is marked by the rivers Sharada and Khakra.

According to a study conducted by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve population has high conservation value because it is the only tiger population with Tarai-specific ecological and behavioral adaptations. It is home to over 127 animals, 326 bird species, and over 2,100 flowering plants. It is a patchwork of high sal forests, plantations, and grasslands, with several bodies of water. The jungles are the natural habitat for a variety of wild animals such as the endangered tiger, swamp deer, Bengal florican, hog deer, leopard, and others. Carnivores feed on a large prey base that includes cheetal, sambar, wild boar, hog deer, swamp deer, blue bull, and other species. The birdlife is abundant and diverse, with hundreds of species visible all year. The Chuka Interpretation Zones, which include a nature interpretation center, cottages, and the edge of a large body of water, is unique and popular with visitors.

Animals In Dudhwa National Park

The alarm call of a cheetal (Spotted deer) or langur occasionally echoes through the unusually quiet forest. This alerts all forest inhabitants to the presence of the King the Tiger, an elusive animal whose presence can be detected by pugmarks, scratch marks, and scat. When you see this magnificent animal in its natural habitat, it is a memory you will cherish for the rest of your life. Many other animal species, including the leopard, sloth bear, wild boar, swamp deer, spotted deer, hog deer, barking deer, sambar, porcupine, civets, python, monitor lizard, and others, live in Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and play an equally key role in its ecology. Hispid hare, otter, pangolin, and Bengal florican are all critically endangered species. The Indian vulture can also be found here.
