Vistadome Jungle Safari A Trill Adventure in Dudhwa

Vistadome Train Jungle Safari in Dudhwa National Park

Whether you have ever imagined riding through thick sal woodlands, seeing wild elephants and deer out the window, and the sun putting its rays on rivers and grasslands - the Vistadome Jungle Safari Train in the Dudhwa National Park will bring that dream to life. It is an amazing train ride, which has been initiated to market eco-tourism in Uttar Pradesh and will provide the viewers with a once-in-a-life chance to view the heart of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary, and Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary on a luxury panoramic train.

The Vistadome Jungle Safari Train, which operates on a distance of about 107 kilometers, serves between Mailani Railway Station, at the northern Indian end, and Bichia (Katarniaghat), the southern terminus at the farthest south. It is a flawless combination of adventure, comfort and nature - and is one of the most unique rail journeys in India.

The Journey: From Mailani to Bichia through Dudhwa’s Wild Heart

Vistadome Tourist Special Train begins its adventurous journey at Mailani, a tiny though exotic town of the Lakhimpur Kheri district and which is the entry gate to the wilderness of Dudhwa. When the train leaves Mailani, the viewers are thrust into the buffer zone forests of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and nature takes along with it.

Raised glass windows and transparent roof of the Vistadome coaches provide the 360 -degree panorama, where the traveler would immerse in the beauty of the forest. The journey through the thick Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary to the heart of Dudhwa National Park and, lastly an idyllic experience in the serene forests of Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary is like a wildlife film on its own.

Every section of this route has its own special attraction - you may see a Bengal tiger lying in the shade of the trees, or groups of spotted deer, or some of the more rare barasingha (swamp deer) browsing in the grass. The singing of birds, the rhythmical beat of the rails, and the green covers above produce a memorable jungle tune.
