Dudhwa Tiger Reserve
Uttar Pradesh
It would be fair to say that a well-known conservationist, ‘Billy’ Arjan Singh, put Dudhwa on the map for wildlife tourists in India. Uttar Pradesh’s last viable tiger habitat, Dudhwa Tiger Reserve comprises the three protected areas of Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary, Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary and Dudhwa National Park. Declared the Dudhwa Sanctuary in 1968 thanks to Arjan Singh’s persistent efforts, the park was officially brought under Project Tiger in 1987. Flanked on the north by the Mohana river and the Suheli river on the south, its vast alluvial plains have some of the finest sal and teak forests interspersed with vast expanses of lush green grasslands and magnificent marshes. Dudhwa’s moist deciduous vegetation makes it one of the most vibrant wildlife reserves in the country where both prey and predator thrive in healthy numbers.Destination Information
