Pilibhit National Park, officially Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, is located in Uttar Pradesh, India, and is a vital habitat in the Terai Arc Landscape, bordering Nepal. Notified in 2014, it's renowned for its diverse Terai ecosystem with forests, grasslands, and wetlands, supporting a rich population of Bengal tigers and over 300 bird species. The park is also a source for the river Gomti and offers unique experiences like bot safaris at Chuka and guided jeep safaris.
Best time to visit Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit is generally visited between November and June and closes for the monsoon. The cooler winter months are the most comfortable and are also the best for birding, when migratory species are present on the wetlands.
What makes Pilibhit different
Pilibhit received international recognition for doubling its tiger population well ahead of global conservation targets, which made it one of the standout success stories among Indian reserves. It forms part of the same Terai arc landscape as Dudhwa, a corridor of grassland and forest along the Himalayan foothills that is critical for tiger movement across the region.
Who Pilibhit suits
Pilibhit sees far fewer visitors than the established tiger circuit, so it suits travellers who want a quieter reserve and are interested in Terai habitat specifically. Junglore combines it with Dudhwa on Terai focused expeditions.
