Overview

Recommended for Age Group 10 - 16 years.

Dudhwa is one of the finest example of a true Terai ecosystem. The park stands tall along the Indo-Nepal border and is home to a variety of endangered species like the Hispid hare and the Indian rhinoceros. Dudhwa also has nearly half the world population of Barasingha, making it the perfect spotting ground for a herd of these deer. It is also one of the best places to spot the Indian Tiger, swamp deer, barking deer, sloth bear, jackals, jungle cat, leopards, and civets.

Dudhwa is a paradise for birdwatchers as well, with over 350 species of birds, including the rare Bengal Florican, Swamp Francolin, Great Slaty Woodpecker, white-rumped vulture, and others like barbet, orioles, cormorants, and drongos.

Explore this confluence of ecosystems, drive in the shade of the dense bahera trees, and experience the enchanting mosaic of Dudhwa with us this summer!
