    There is more to a jungle than the tiger
    "If you want to see a tiger you go to a zoo, and if you want to see the jungle you come for a safari", told our guide. It was indeed very true, you cant get a jungle in zoo, the jungle itself has its own persona and feel. Sighting of the animals is bonus. Having been to many safaris both in India and Africa, all I can say is that Jungles are like individuals, having a character of their own. Go meet them. Pro Tip: Only two safari vehicles are allowed per day in the Rhino Area on first come first serve basis. We were lucky to have made it and saw 5 rhinos, include a female and its calf.

    Unexplored Jungle Safari
    It’s a surreal jungle with the most beautiful trees and animals spread across a vast landscape. Pictures cannot capture the beauty that you experience in front of you. Very less written about hence very few visitors to pollute the quiet of the forest. Expect some very polite and passionate tour guides. Our guide Rajit Singh +91 751-8408912 was our friend and family for the day . Even though we didn’t see the tiger in the morning ride Rajit ensured that we do the sighting at Kishanpur Tiger reserve in the evening. Of course the deer , crocodile, elephant, peacock and other wildlife were also a beautiful sight to see. You require an additional pass if you wish to do Rhino safari. Dudhwa is unique national park where you can see both tigers and rhinos. We were suggested to visit Nepal next time as the Nepal national park is close by .

    Mesmerizing Nature
    Less crowded than other NP's I have visited, however can get too many people during holidays and weekend. The forest looks ancient, full of music of nature. Wonderful spread of birds, animals and plant species. Its a real gem to explore.

    A forest with Water/ Grass & Trees - Awesomeness
    This was our first visit to Dudhwa National Park - Tiger Reserve, trip got turned up at the 11th hour and we reached the area without any bookings or plan in place. We had a very strong recommendation from a close friend about Mr. Saurabh Garg (Travel Gleam Wild). I knew that he is going to be our savior for this trip and Hola it turned same. What a wonderful Safari experience with sighting of one horned rhino on elephant safari. He is well connected and knows the system well. Although we had less time but will revisit in winters with ample time in hand

Dudhwa National Park forms the core of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. We visited the park to enjoy the beauty of vast Terai grasslands, interspersed with woodlands and wetlands. The visit was productive, we could see a rhino, quite a few barasinga and at least 50 species of birds in one trip. Francolins and waterfowls were abundant. Hog deer was the key species in grasslands and spotted deer was most common. Good opportunity to photograph wildlife without getting blocked by many other vehicles. Accommodation at the Forest Rest House was simple and basic. A must visit for wildlife lovers. Look for a driver named ‘Deepak’ or guide named ‘Sonu’.

Forests cannot survive without Tigers,nor can Tigers survive without forests.
The tiger saves the forest and the forest saves the tiger. The tiger without a forest gets killed and the forest without a tiger gets destroyed.
So let the forest protect the tiger and the tiger protect the forest.
- From the Mahabharata

Dudhwa is one of India's most magnificent forests. 
Dudhwa regained its lost grandeur as a result of efforts of conservationist Billy Arjan Singh over sixty years.
Dudhwa largely a sal and teak forest is one of the most picturesque jungles of India, covering an area of around 500 sq km in the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh bordering Nepal.
While I find it difficult to compare forests as I think each forest has its own unique beauty and individuality, Dudhwa is by far one of the most pristine forests in our country.
As Dudhwa shares its boundaries with Nepal on one side — I feel this seems to have taken a huge toll on the tiger population here, due to deforestation and agriculture.
While the officials estimate the tiger population at a little over 80 in the region of Dudhwa and the adjoining areas of Kishanpur, the signs in the forest and the movement of animals seems to suggest a much lower number.
Plenty of bird life, peacocks,crocodiles,
Swamp deer ( Barasingha), Barking Deer, Wild Elephants, Wild Boar, and Chitals can be seen. There are Rhinos ,which can be seen only if you take an elephant ride.
Sadly in our visit the Elephant rides were cancelled, due to the wild elephants being in "musth"
To see the elusive Tiger is to be lucky!
But I would say enjoy the forest, it's a quiet beautiful haven!!
I planned my trip to Dudhwa National Park with the help of Liladhar Sonu, Guide and Naturalist.
Sonu knows Dudhwa like the back of his hand. He is very knowledgeable.
In the jungle he is highly alert to all the sights and sounds, which we city dwellers miss!
Once you reach Dudhwa until you leave, Sonu will take very good care of you and your Safaris in the Jungle,and you will enjoy your stay at Dudhwa.
Sonu is contactable on mobile no 09452042874 .
His email id is sonududhwa@gmail.com

The Dudhwa forest is amazing with its varied flora...the tall sal trees, the wide-leafed teak, bamboo and elephant grass. A drive into the forest early morning and at sunset is magical. You may not get to see the great cat, but small animals and avians are a-plenty.The water bodies teem with water birds, crocodiles and swamp deer.....

Dudhwa is one of the finest Jungles with thick vegetation and well maintained park. We did two Jeep safaris. The morning safari showed us a single bull elephant followed by spotting other wild life. But the best part was reserved for the afternoon safari in Kishan Pur block where we were lucky to spot a fill grown tigress. We were able to see its movement for a good 15 minutes where it walked, sat and moved about in the jungle till it went to the watering hole.
Overall a very successful visit. Those wanting to go must plan in advance and be vary of bookings done through forest department as these may be changed at the last minute due to omnipresent VIP culture in the state.

The park is nice and the safari was good. Did not see the tiger but saw two rhinos.
Stayed in the UP Ecotourism hut. It was a bad experience considering that the tariff is 3 star. The cottages are new but falling apart.The management was very difficult to contact-very difficult to get their numbers. The whole attitude was sarkari.
Very difficult to get towels and soaps. The food was basic. There seems to be overstaffing with people just sitting around. The staff in the dining room were not clean. Govt. should get out of the hospitality business.
The interpretation centre is good but there should be ceiling fans.

Neat and Clean washrooms available in the Jungle itself.

We visited the park in Mar 19 and did the safaris covering the kishanpur range area. This area is supposed to have maximum sightings. The Sharda river forms one side of the area. We were able to sight a number of birds including peacocks, varieties of deers as well as wild boars, however the tigers eluded us though we were able to see fresh pug marks as well as track a few calls. We used the gypsy provided by the resort and were charged Rs 3000/- per trip for four people. You may get this cheaper if you were to book directly with the park. On the whole a refreshing break. It is definitely a birders paradise and if one is lucky one can even get to sight a tiger. During this time of the month the rhinoceros camp was closed due to non availability of elephants. It is prudent to check on the availability of the elephant ride before planning as this adds further to the sightings that one can have.

This was my fifth tiger sanctuary visit in India and happened to be my first tiger sighting.

My friend took me to this place, booking a Jeep Safari. We had already spent nearly 1 hour and suddenly heard a small noise in swamp, suddenly a big roar shook us all. A large tiger emerged from water and rushed inside the elephant grass.

It was a great experience and I recommend this place to photographers for some lovely sunset shots as well.
