Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary

The 400-square-kilometer sanctuary contains forests, grasslands, and wetlands along the Ghaghra River, supporting numerous species of mammals and birds throughout the year.

Established in 1976, this protected area became an essential component of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve ecosystem, focusing on preserving endangered species in Uttar Pradesh.

The indigenous communities near the sanctuary maintain traditional conservation practices and organize educational programs about local wildlife protection methods.

Visitors can access guided jeep safaris and nature walks from November to February, when temperatures remain moderate and wildlife observation opportunities increase.

The Kuchh Wilderness section features specialized grassland environments that provide specific habitats for endangered Bengal tigers and swamp deer populations.
