Lakhimpur Kheri district

Lakhimpur Kheri is an administrative district in northern Uttar Pradesh that stretches along the Nepal border. The district contains both densely settled farmland and forested areas with protected wildlife reserves.

Archaeological finds in the district date back to Vedic times, including coins and sculptures from different ruling periods. The district was organized in its current form during the 19th century under British colonial administration.

The population of over 4 million residents communicates in multiple languages, including Awadhi, Bangla, Urdu, and Punjabi, reflecting the district's linguistic diversity.

Travelers move through the area mainly on overland roads connecting larger towns and villages. Visits to the national park or archaeological sites require advance arrangements and local guidance.

The Dudhwa reserve within the district is home to one of the densest tiger populations in northern India. Visitors can also observe swamp deer and other rare species in their natural habitat here.
