Dudhwa National Park

Location : Indo – Nepal border

Area Covered : 490 Sq kms

Main Wild Life : Bara Singha, Swamp, Chital, Hog Deer, Jackal, Wild boar,

Best Time to Visit : November to May

Dudhwa Tiger Reserve in the Lakhimpur kheri district of Uttar Pradesh is one of the finest examples of the exceeding diverse & productive Terai Eco System, the reserve has an area of 490 sq km. The northern edge of the reserve lies along the Indo Nepal border while the river Suheli marks the southern boundary.

From mosaic grasslands & dense forest to swampy marshes, the terrain of Dudhwa National Park is a diverse as the wild life population us harbors. A Tiger Reserve since 1879, Dudhwa became a National Park in 1977 & adopted the Project Tiger in 1988. Although the Tigers at the Park are numerous, sightings are rare due to the thick forest cover of the srea. Besides Tigers, Leopards, Hispid Hares & the Swamp Deer & rhino thrive amidst the vegetation. The marshlands are especially inviting for about 400 species of resident and migratory birds including the swamp Patridge, Great Slaty Woodpecker & Bengal Florican.

Attractions:

A part from the swamp deer, there are at least 37 species of mammals, 16 species of reptiles & 400 species of avifauna. Dudhwa Wildlife Sanctuary is said to have 101 tigers & 4 Leopards. Recently the hispid hare has also been sighted from the area.

Leopards are very few in Dudhwa, as it is situated habitat for the tigers, where competition from the superior predator depresses their population. In spite of the fact that the prey overlap between the two species is limited. Since Dudhwa provides the optimum habitat for the Barasingha or Swamp Deer the ruminants of the once prolific deer species is crowded into the wetlands of the park, which has the distinction of having the largest population of this threatened species in the sub continent.

Return of the Rhino:

It was her in 1984 that a major rhinoceros rehabilitation project was started since these forest had been the habitat of the rhinoceros 150 years ago. Five rhinos were relocated from Assam but two of the females died due to the strains of transportation. These were replaced in 1985 by four more females from Nepal.

Other animals seen in Dudhwa in fair to dwindling numbers are wild elephants, sloth bear, ratels, civets, jackals, fishing cats, jungle cats and leopards cats. Among the deer in the addition to the barasingha, are the sambar, chital, hog deer and barking deer. Also wild pigs and blue bulls our largest antelope.

In winter, basking on the sandy banks of the suheli Neora river running along the southern boundary of the park, the snub nose crocodiles or mugger may be seen. Otter are fairly common, as also pythons and monitor lizards.

Avian World:

Dudhwa’s birds in particular are a delight for any avid bird watcher, plenty of plated storks, sarus cranes, owls, barbets, woodpeckers, Minivets and many more including some rare species like Bengal florican. Much of the parks avian fauna is aquatic in nature & found around Dudhwa’s lakes especially Banke Tal.

Migratory birds are plentiful, especially waterfowl as Dudhwa is very close to Himalayan foothills. Various species stopover in the course of their migration to the plains in winter. The White Ibis has vanished and the ethereal trumpeting of the lighting demoiselle cranes is heard no more.

The major vegetation types in this region are tropical semi evergreen forest , tropical moist deciduous forest, dry deciduous forest, swamp forest and riparian forest. The dominant tree species are shorea robusta, terminolis tomentosa, adinia cordifolia, terminalis belerica, Eugenia jambolana, dolbergia sissoo and bombar malabaricum.
