OVERVIEW CORBETT AND DUDHWA TIGER SAFARI TOUR
The Terai Arc Landscape (TAL), which spans 810 km and includes three Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Bihar—includes Corbett and Dudhwa National Park. Wildlife corridors, which are a component of the reserved forest, link the protected areas in TAL to one another.
Asian elephants, one-horned rhinos, and tigers are among the most important wildlife populations. Numerous endangered species, like the Ghariyal, Bengal Florican, Gangetic Dolphins, Fishing Cat, around 600 bird species, and many more, can be found there.
This particular tiger safari excursion is intended for true nature lovers who are patient and persistent enough to wait for wildlife to approach them. The Forest Rest House, which is tucked away deep within the bush, offers a unique experience. During the British Raj, the Forest Officers frequented these rest houses. Despite the extremely basic accommodations, which include a restricted selection of food and a power supply, they are kept so intentionally. Experience the jungle for what it truly is, where luxury entails seeing tigers several times.
You will have the chance to see not only tigers but also the powerful Asian elephants and rhinos on this tiger safari tour in India. There are almost five hundred different species of birds in Dudhwa National Park. Examples are the Great Pied Hornbill, Black Necked Stork, Great Slaty Woodpecker, and Bengal Florican. In addition to its diverse biodiversity, Dudhwa is home to crocodiles and otters. It's fun to see the swamp deer in Bankey Taal. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that anyone looking for diversity in Indian wildlife will find a tiger safari in Dudhwa to be beneficial.
