“Another wonderful trip with Kunal. The entire details from stay to safari was wonderfully planned and executed. Kunal acted as our tour guide and naturalist — he rattled out the bird's name so easily and explained about each of them. Thank you Kunal for another amazing trip.”

Frequently asked questions.
Dudhwa is open from mid-November to mid-June. Winter is atmospheric, with mist over the grassland; the hot months concentrate wildlife and are the most reliable for tigers, particularly at Kishanpur.
The best months are quiet but fill early for the good lodges — worth planning ahead.
The tigers of Kishanpur, part of the Dudhwa reserve, famously move through the surrounding sugarcane fields and tall Terai grass — a distinctive, atmospheric landscape quite unlike the Central Indian parks.
Always private — your own jeep, driver and naturalist, in a reserve that stays genuinely uncrowded.
Your Dudhwa,planned properly.
No commitment — just a conversation about dates, group, and the kind of trip you want.
