Wildlife Sanctuaries - Dudhwa National Park

Best Time for Viewing
The park is open from sunrise to sunset and night driving is not permitted. Dawn and late afternoons are usually the best time to view wildlife.
Climate

The climate is equable. Temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C between November and February. In summer, March to May, they rise to about 35°C. Nights are pleasant with temperatures between 10°C to 15°C.
Best time to visit
The best time to be there is between November and May. High season is in January. The park is open to tourists from November 15 to June 15. There are heavy rains between June and September, when Dudhwa remains closed. The grasslands are in their prime just after the monsoons when most animals come out of hiding to feast on young sprouts.
Getting There
Air:
Lucknow (238 km) is the nearest airport.

Rail:
Dudhwa (4 km) is the nearest station. It is connected to Lucknow and Nainital via Mailani (37 km) on the metre gauge. Another option is a 301 km journey from Delhi to Shahjahanpur by rail and then by road to Dudhwa, another 107 km.

Road:
The nearest town is Palia (5 km). It is linked to Lucknow (238 km). UPSRTC and private buses ply between Palia and Lakhimpur-Kheri, Shahjahanpur, Bareilly (260 km) and Delhi (430 km). Palia may appear to be a dusty and noisy town, but a stopover here is important for this is where all provisions must be bought, as nothing may be available beyond this point. A bus connects Dudhwa and Palia.

Getting Around

Coaches and jeeps can be hired from the National Park office at Dudhwa for travel inside the park. Permission to visit the park must be obtained from the Director of Dudhwa National Park at Lakhimpur-Kheri.

Elephants are also available for wildlife viewing. Virtually impenetrable by foot, the grasslands must be seen on elephant back to capture its full glory.

The forest department has rest houses at several locations. The Bankati Forest Rest House has four suites equipped with electricity. Dudhwa Forest Rest House has four suites and 25 beds in a dormitory. It has electricity as well as bedding facilities. The canteen at Dudhwa provides meals and snacks.
