With more than 350 species of birds, Dudhwa National Park is home to migratory and resident birds, such as the white-rumped vulture, Bengal florican, swamp francolin and the great slaty woodpecker.
This national park is one of the few remaining examples of the exceedingly diverse and productive Tarai ecosystem. There are forest trails with giant Sal trees and vast open rolling grasslands with riverbanks full of crocodiles.
The Big Five of Dudhwa National Park are the Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, swamp deer, gharial and one-horned rhinoceros. Visitors can also see hog deer, sloth bears and honey badgers here.
