Dudhwa National Park

The existence of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve undoubtedly influences in a host of ways, critical but not fully understood, the ecological balance of not only the region but also of our planet. With its varied topography, lush green landscape, extensive wetlands and remarkable biodiversity, the Reserve is an enviable paradise for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. At every turn, there are unique species to see – which makes Dudhwa National Park truly a paradise for Nature Lovers. The vegetation is of the North Indian Moist Deciduous type, containing some of the finest examples of Sal forests in India, as well the most extensive tracts of moist grasslands that remain in this region.

Apart from a sizable population of Tigers and Leopard, Dudhwa National Park carries a viable population of a nominate sub-species of the Swamp deer or Barasingha, Indian One-horned Rhinoceros successfully reintroduced in 1984, and certain critically endangered species like the Bengal Florican and the Hispid Hare, adding to the marvel of Dudhwa. There is an enviable bird life with over 450 residents as well as migratory species. Dotted with a number of shallow lakes or taals, there are diverse, perennial sources of freshwater in the reserve.
