As part of a plan to make Uttar Pradesh popular for eco-tourism, the state’s Forest and Wildlife Department is beginning ‘Buffer Mein Safar Yojana.’ In order to preserve the state’s environment and the rich variety of animals, this initiative will advance safari routes within the buffer zone areas of important tiger reserves.
Forest and Wildlife officials told us on Saturday that, with this project, new routes for safari will be built in reserves like Dudhwa, Pilibhit, and Uttar Kheri, especially focusing on Bhira and Mohammadi, places that are good for ecotourism. In addition, the department is looking to strengthen the local communities by involving them in guiding activities and running small restaurants, which helps both locals and visitors.
The initiatives are paying off, as more eco-tourists travel to Uttar Pradesh these days. The Buffer Mein Safar Yojana will begin its operation when the monsoon starts. Route plans for new safaris are being made in the buffer areas of Sohagibarwa, Uttar Kheri, and Pilibhit. Authorities have said tourists can still go on safari in these zones even when it is raining. To invite more tourists, plans are underway to open the tiger reserves more days each week.
Buffer Mein Safar Yojana helps decrease conflicts between people and wildlife and offers tourists a thrilling jungle adventure. Along with tiger reserves and wildlife sanctuaries, the department is looking for other ecotourism opportunities. This development is focused on Bhira and Mohammadi in Lakhimpur Kheri, where eco-tourist attractions are now being created.
Gola, Mohammadi Range, and Bhira in South Kheri recently got a tourist circuit. Because the Semrai Lake is a significant site for bird migration, it too will be featured in the circuit for tourists. In the area near the Nepal border, jungle safaris have began in the Kartaniya Ghat buffer zone. Travelers will be drawn to these regions because of their natural beauty, range of life, and rich wildlife.
Uttar Pradesh is trying to become an ecotourism destination through actions led by the Forest and Wildlife Department. As part of this effort, a modern information center has opened in the Dudhwa tourism complex. Information about the area’s wildlife, biodiversity, and local culture, along with ideas about caring for the environment, will all be provided for tourists.
In addition, native residents are gaining experience as nature guides, canteen employees, and chefs. The skills of these workers will be enhanced, resulting in good service for tourists. There will be new work and earnings available for young people in the city.
