Known as the "jewel of Kanha," this park is the best place to spot the hard-ground Barasingha. Its grassy meadows and conservation programmes have helped bring the species back from the brink of extinction.
Dudhwa is home to the northern swamp deer, thriving in its marshy Terai landscapes. Winter is the best time to see herds grazing in the park’s vast wetlands.
Famous for its rhinos, Kaziranga also supports the eastern swamp deer. The grasslands along the Brahmaputra River host one of the largest populations of this subspecies.
Satpura's meadows and forests are a quieter habitat for the hard-ground Barasingha. Its serene environment enhances the chance of spotting these deer during safaris.
This lesser-known reserve offers a safe haven for the Barasingha in its swamps and wetlands. Conservation efforts here aim to combat habitat loss for the deer.
The lush grasslands and water bodies of Pilibhit are ideal for the northern swamp deer. Herds can often be seen grazing in the reserve’s open marshlands.
Near the India-Nepal border, this park's grasslands and wetlands house a growing population of Barasingha, along with its famed tiger biodiversity.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Manas hosts the eastern swamp deer. Its floodplains and grasslands near the Manas River are prime spots for sightings.
Close to the Indian border, Bardia shares similar habitats with Dudhwa and Pilibhit. Its wetlands support a significant population of the northern swamp deer.
Known for tigers, Bandhavgarh also harbours the hard-ground Barasingha. These deer can be spotted in the park’s meadows, though in smaller numbers than in Kanha.
