Dudhwa National Park

Dudhwa National Park is a national park and wildlife reserve located in the Terai marshy grasslands of northern Uttar Pradesh, within Lakhimpur Kheri district and forming part of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. Sources describe a core area of roughly 490.3 km2 with an additional buffer zone of about 190 km2. The site is presented in travel materials as a nature-wildlife destination offering safaris and birdwatching and is noted for species-level records such as the Barasingha (swamp deer). Administrative and conservation context for the park is reflected in parliamentary archival material referencing discussions of rhino rehabilitation in Dudhwa (11 August 2015), indicating government-level attention to species recovery efforts. Natural-history documentation includes photographic archives (for example, a photo of a male Barasingha by Ravi Sankaran) that attest to species presence and scientific interest. Travel-archive sources place the park near the Nepal border and emphasize its role in regional tourism alongside other Uttar Pradesh attractions. The supplied materials contain no reports of paranormal phenomena, no named supernatural entities, and no folklore-based haunting narratives associated with the park.
