Season: - November to March
Trip Highlight
Located on the border of Nepal and India
, Dudhwa was established as a sanctuary
in 1968 and was later upgraded to a
national park in 1977. The sanctuary was
initially established to protect its
large and over hunted population of
Swamp Deer or Barasingha. The park was
the site of sucessful reintroduction of
tigers, leopards and rhinocerous under
the loving care of naturalist "Billy"
Arjan Singh. Dudhwa is one of India 's
most exciting wildlife reserves but
sadly it is also the most vunerable and
sensitive.
