Cleaning work is underway on the main jungle routes and unpaved tracks, while arrangements at the crocodile centre and boat jetty are being improved.Painting and renovation work is also being carried out at Tharu huts, canteen and rest houses to provide better facilities for tourists.Visitors often come to Katarniaghat hoping to spot tigers and leopards during jungle safaris. Elephants, dolphins, gharials and crocodiles are among the sanctuary’s major attractions.However, tourists may have to wait for boating activities during the initial days of the new season.
The closure period of the Ghaghara Barrage has led to a decline in the water level of Gerua River, creating difficulties for boat operations. Visitors hoping to spot dolphins and other aquatic wildlife may face some disappointment initially.The forest department is also considering opening additional safari routes to allow tourists to explore more areas of the sanctuary.
However, no final decision has been taken on the proposal.Divisional forest officer (DFO) Apoorva Dixit said preparations were underway for the upcoming tourism season.Forest range officer Ashish Gaur said cleaning of forest routes, painting and other improvement works were being carried out to ensure a better experience for tourists when the season begins on Nov 1.You Can Also Check: Gold Rate in Lucknow | Silver Rate in Lucknow | Bank Holidays in Lucknow | Public Holidays in Lucknow | Lucknow AQI | Weather in Lucknow | Petrol Price in Lucknow | Diesel Price in Lucknow | CNG Price in Lucknow | LPG Price in LucknowStay updated with the latest Lucknow news.
