Dudhwa National Park

Dudhwa National Park is a National Park and major part of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve located in the Terai of Uttar Pradesh state, India. It covers an area of 680 km2 (260 sq mi), with a buffer zone of almost 190 km2 (73 sq mi).

The area was established in 1958 as a wildlife sanctuary for Swamp Deer. Thanks to the efforts of 'Billy' Arjan Singh the area was notified as a national park in January 1977. In 1988, the park was declared as a tiger reserve, and forms the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve together with the Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary and Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary.
