The moment a holiday is near people start planning to visit hills and whether it is the Summer or the Winters the traffic all along the hills could be seen swarming with the population. It also becomes irritating at times to see the same kind of crowd who could be seen following you in your thoughts. Now, thinking about some offbeat destination that could give solace as well as some great pleasure through mystic ways to get a rejuvenation could be finding an offbeat destination like a wildlife sanctuary.
It is not necessary that every time one has to rush towards Ranthambhore in Rajasthan or the Jim Corbett National Park which has few animals to see as most of them try to rush away towards the greater terrain regions and all you can see there are the wild dogs or the elephants at times which come all the way from the Ramnagar Forest Reserve. Since Ranthambore is expensive in the terms as it is quite known as the VIP zone and publicized wildly by the Rajasthan Tourism people if looking for alternatives could find few wildlife sanctuaries in the Uttar Pradesh, which is far better as compared to conserving the wildlife along with the hills and forests.
The Pilibhit Wildlife Reserve is at a distance of 344.9 Km and takes 7 hours to reach there. Also, the route is quite convenient and the nearest rail-head is Pilibhit station. The only train which takes you there from Delhi via Ghaziabad is the 14556 Tanakpur Express which starts from Delhi at 06:10 a.m and reaches Pilibhit at 15:30 P.M. One could get a Sleeper. 3rd A.C. or a general ticket and book the ticket in advance through the IRCTC website. Once you reach there just hire a cab and then you can also get the Pilibhit Guest house amidst the forest through UP tourism.
The various private owners also have their own well-furnished accommodation at appropriate prices and the tourist log huts along with lodges and forest resthouses at Bankatti, Mala, Chuka and also various other places. It also has a small canteen attached to it and they charge a nominal tariff so it is always good to carry something of your own in the form of snacks and cup noodles for satisfying the hunger when the staff is not available at night.
The only thing which will give you complete happiness is the peace which is much needed these days and the natural greenery which is not seen on hills like the hills all along Shimla and various other places have become more of a commercial venture and they are equally hot during summer.
The bird species are more than 326 species could be found here and is an ideal place for the bird watchers. The fish eagle, serpent eagle along with spotted owl and jungle babbler are to be seen in common.
The animals to be found here are leopard, sloth bear, wild boar, and the reptiles are found here is the monitor lizard and python among many others but the hunting is prohibited.
