Dudhwa Tiger Reserve
About:
Located on the Indo-Nepal border in the district Lakhimpur-Kheri in Uttar Pradesh, Dudhwa National Park, together with Kishanpur and Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuaries, represent the best natural forests and grasslands left in the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh. The three Protected Areas, being the last viable home of the Royal Bengal Tiger in the state, have been jointly constituted into Dudhwa Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger. Kishanpur (204 sq km), the oldest of the three PAs, was declared a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1972, followed by Katerniaghat (440 sq km) in 1975 and finally Dudhwa National Park (680 sq km) in 1977. Though the 3 PAs are physically separate, each consists of unbroken tracts of dense forests. These terai ecosystems are highly productive habitats of diverse flora and fauna and home to a considerable number of obligate species and species of restricted distribution. The vegetation is of the North Indian Moist Deciduous type, containing some of the finest examples of Sal forests (Shorea robusta) in India, as well the most extensive tracts of moist grasslands that remain in this region.

Jambolana Safari Camp
Situated on the periphery of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, along the river Suheli, overlooking the vast expanse of the Madrahia Grassland lies Jambolana; a tented safari camp. Nestled amongst a cluster of wild jamun trees (Eugenia Jambolana), from which the campsite derives its name, and spread over 25 acres, it is an ideal way to appreciate the complete jungle experience and get up close with what nature has to offer. Jambolana was conceived with the aim of providing the âAfrican Safari/Bush campâ feel in India, to enable all wildlife enthusiasts and like-minded travellersâ to view wild game; especially endangered species like the Royal Bengal Tiger and the One-Horned Rhinoceros, in their natural surroundings. What makes Jambolana unique is that the adjoining Tiger Reserve is the only forest in India barring the North-Eastern region where the Tiger, Elephant, Crocodile and One-Horned Asian Rhinoceros can be found sharing their habitat
Palia City Hotels
Another option is to stay outside the Dudhwa National park; Palia has a handful of hotels, and luxuries that you wont get in the park- provisions, medical facilities, and telephones included. The hotels in the town, obviously charge more than what you'll pay in Dudhwa
