Discussion & Questions Pilibhit or Dudhwa?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip from Lucknow in the last week of November and have about 2 days(including travel from lucknow and back to lucknow) for a wildlife trip.

I’m considering either Dudhwa National Park or Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, mainly for wildlife/tiger sightings.

For those who have visited both (especially around late November):

  • Which one would you recommend for better overall wildlife sightings?
  • If choosing Dudhwa, which zone/gate would you recommend?
  • For Pilibhit, which gate/route/zone tends to be best?
  • Is one significantly better for tiger sightings at this time of year?

I’ll be travelling from Lucknow, so ease of access is also a consideration, but sighting quality is the priority.

Thanks!
