The reason why Mailani is an ideal destination to visit Dudhwa Tiger Reserve

Mailani, a small rural town at Dudhwa Tiger Reserve in the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh, is one of the most undiscovered gems for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers who intend to spend some time experiencing wildlife in its fullest form. Set at the fringe of thick buffer forests and within firing distance of some of the nation’s protected areas, Mailani is an ideal and peaceful base to tour the mysteries of the wilderness- Dudhwa National Park, Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary, Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, and the mystic beat of the Mailani-Bhira buffer Range of Padariya beat.

The beating heart of this experience is the Abhi Home Stay, an eco-friendly and homely stay, which serves people, seekers of adventure, kith and kin, college and university students, photographers, and birders as well. Because spending time in Mailani is an absolutely sensible idea if you want to visit Dudhwa and its incredible nature.

Gateway to Dudhwa’s Rich Biodiversity

The location of Mailani is in Lakhimpur Kheri district, which is the gateway to the great Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. The scenic, less popular access to the forests, Mailani, has a serene entrance as compared to the most popular entry gates, and the jungle safari will start at the buffer zone premises.

Dudhwa Tiger Reserve is one of the biodiverse habitats in India and harbors: The Royal Bengal Tiger, One-horned rhinoceros, Asiatic elephants, Barasingha Swamp deer, More than 450 types of avian species.

In Mailani, you have the option to make safaris in the core of Dudhwa. In addition to Kishanpur, which is known for the view of tigers and leopards. The Mailani Buffer Zone is also full of Sal, Teak, and mixed deciduous forests, and it is not uncommon to find deer, wild boar, jackals, and various other species.

Getting into the close proximity of several safari zones

The better thing about Mailani, though, is the fact that there are several wildlife sanctuaries and safari points located within a few minutes’ drive or even an hour-long train journey.

Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary (approx. 10 km): A real-life treasure that has grasslands, riverbanks, and dense woods. It is ideal to see tigers, swamp deer, and leopards.
