Glamping DUDHWA NATIONAL PARK

Want the adventure, but loathe to give up the luxury? A boutique camping experience in the wilderness of Dudhwa National Park might just be up your alley. While the premium accommodation allows you to sit back and relax in complete privacy, curated experiences such as cycling through the farmlands and hamlets on the periphery of the park can add that dash of adrenaline. Situated in Uttar Pradesh along the India–Nepal border, comprising 490 square kilometres of farmlands, this rustic destination is a lovely countryside escape. The wilderness and the indigenous flora and fauna are certain to prod your inner naturalist. Look out for waders, kingfishers, elephants, swamp deer, single-horned rhinos, Indian narrow-headed softshell turtle, and more. Another highlight is the interaction with the local Terai community.

GETTING THERE Dudhwa National Park can be reached by road from Lucknow (237 km) and Delhi (454 km).
