Kalagarh Tiger Reserve
Kalagarh Tiger Reserve, located in the Lansdowne division of Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, forms the northern stretch of the famed Jim Corbett National Park. Spanning approximately 300 square kilometers, this reserve is a biodiverse haven nestled in the Shivalik foothills, rich with sal, sheesham, and other deciduous trees.
It is home to a wide array of wildlife including Bengal tigers, leopards, elephants, sloth bears, barking deer, and over 580 species of birds such as hornbills, kingfishers, and vultures. The reserve is also known for its reptilian diversity, including king cobras, rock pythons, and monitor lizards, making it a paradise for nature lovers and wildlife photographers.
The reserve is accessible through several gates, notably Vatanvasa, Pakhro, Kolhuchaur, and Durgadevi, with Vatanvasa being the most popular for safari entry. Visitors can explore the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary zone via jeep safaris, which are available from mid-November to mid-June, the official open season.
The forest is dense and hilly, offering a challenging yet rewarding terrain for wildlife spotting. While tiger sightings are rare and depend on luck, the experience of traversing through the untouched wilderness is itself mesmerizing. The trail often leads to the edge of the Kalagarh reservoir, offering breathtaking views and a serene escape into nature.
