With its fine Sal forests and dense thickets that open abruptly into magnificent grasslands, the Dudhwa National Park has become one of India's most vibrant and exciting wildlife reserves -- and one of the most vulnerable. Dudhwa is often called The Last Terai, since it holds remains of the dense forests that once existed along the foothills of the Himalayas. An aura of mystery and prehistoric nostalgia thus envelops you as you enter Dudhwa.

A Tiger Reserve since 1879, Dudhwa developed into a National Park in 1977 and adopted the Project Tiger in 1988. Although the Tigers at the Park are plentiful, sightings are rare due to the thick forest that covers the area. It is also one of the best spots on earth to watch birds.

The area comprising the forest was once the playground of the big game hunters. Full of jheels (lakes) and marshland -- which have now been converted to paddy and sugarcane fields -- this was once the heart of the most extensive swamp deer ranges. Called barasingha, or 12-pointed deer, the animals had caught the imagination of the huntsmen. Predictably, their population dwindled in the crossfire of hunting and habitat loss. Today, soon after the monsoon in the protected confines of the park, the barasingha herds can be seen raising their antlers skywards.

Other inhabitants include the sloth bear, jackal, wild pig and the lesser cats - the fishing cat, leopard cat, jungle cat and civet. Dudhwa also has an abundance of birds. Its marshes are home to a range of water-birds both local and migratory. There are spectacular painted storks, black and white necked storks, sarus cranes and varied night birds of prey, ranging from the great Indian horned owl to the jungle owlet. Colourful woodpeckers, barbets, kingfishers, minivets, bee eaters, and bulbuls flit through the forest canopy.

Among Dudhwa's successes is the introduction of a small herd of Indian one-horned rhinoceros into the Park (which shares a border with Kathmandu in Nepal) in 1984 with the active involvement of the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. Click here to make the bookings for your flight.
