Dudhwa Tiger Reserve & National Park

[gd1418]

Yes Rosh, around here I'm known as GD. I've noticed that some have taken the liberties of calling GD uncle and bent upon lowering my market value. Do they see me as a competeing threat? Then that makes me feel good.

Now I need to box their ears to let them know I can match them step for step at all fronts..

I agree whole-heartedly.

By the way, did you attend Mayawati's birthday bash earlier this week ?

Oh yes. Seems you have not been watching the TV duing the last 48 hrs. After Satish Chandra Mishra gave her the first bite of that humungous 52 Kg cake, it was my turn..

Least she could've done is bitten you BEFORE the cake - talk about priorities!

Does it hurt?

That came totally out of respect.

[gd1418]

Jaise Advaniji ne Atalji ka naam Bharat ratna ke liye reccommend kar competition se bahar kiya, vaise hi aap respect, respect mein meri izzat le lee...

Hindi mein ek kahawat hai - 'kutte ko ghee nahi pachta". Usee tarah jyada respect ki hame aadat nahi hai..badhazami ho jaati hai.

Koi patakha kudi agar respect mein hame uncle keh de to..tumhari to life ban jayegi par hamaari vaat lag jayegi..

Can you also publish details about how to book acco, guide, elephant ride etc it will be great!

[gd1418]

Thank you Druva. About the accommodation, guide and the elephant ride, general details are in the travelogue. Booking I did not mention. That was lacking.

However, here are the details:

Booking:

There are two types of accommodation available in Dudhwa. One in some parts of core area inside the forest and one on the fringes near the HQ.

Inside the core area of forest the accommodation are called 'Van vishram Griha' roughly translated as Forest Rest House. These are in Sathiyana, Salukapur and Sonaripur. The one in Sathiyana (where we stayed) is the best; I was told so by the guide as well as some others too there. The other two are good too but some improvement work is going on. All the rest houses are equipped with a caretaker and Solar power assuring you light in the night. During the day in winters they shut it down to conserve power since due to foggy conditions the sun appears late.. In summers I presume it is 24 hrs.

The park opens for public from November to May.

To book the FRH one has to write to the chief wildlife warden of Uttar Pradesh in Lucknow. To ensure availability, it is better to make some politico like and MP/MLA to write a letter to the CWW, because many high-ups from UP State too visit this place and to accommodate them lesser mortals are bumped off.

Then there are huts called the Tharu huts that are given on contract to UP tourism and their booking is handles by them.

Once you reach Dudhwa after getting your bookings done, you have to contact the DFO at the HQ to make the payments etc and get the guide and do the bookings for the elephant ride.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]For more information, contact the Director, Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, District Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh (Tel: 05872-252106). Additional assistance can be obtained from the Chief Wildlife Warden at 17, Rana Pratap Marg, Lucknow.[/SIZE][/FONT]

I hope this informaton is useful to you.
