Dudhwa National Park
Dudhwa
Tiger Reserve has two core areas- Dudhwa National Park and Kishanpur Wildlife
Sanctuary. These are 15 km apart, with agricultural land in between. Dudhwa
National Park is situated on the Indo-Nepal border in the Lakhimpur-Kheri district
in Uttar Pradesh. The Mohana river flowing along the Indo-Nepal border constitutes
the northern boundary of the Park whilst the southern boundary is formed by
the river Suheli. The Kishanpur Sanctuary lies in the Lakhimpur-Kheri and Shahajahanpur
districts in Uttar Pradesh.
The area of the Park is a vast alluvial plain, the doab of the Mohana
and Suheli rivers, interspersed with numerous rivulets, lakes and pools. The
rich and extremely fertile Indo-Gangetic plains support a luxuriant growth
of forests and diversity of fauna.
