In line with this vision, the authorities have eventually geared up to welcome the visitors after months of lockdown owing to the pandemic, to make up for the loss incurred by the tourism sector.

Reportedly, before welcoming the tourists, the famous Tharu huts and guest houses were repaired and whitewashed by the authorities. Moreover, ahead of the reopening, the damaged jungle routes have been restored and arrangement for the special Dudhwa Safari Jeeps has also been taken care of. However, the entry of tourists in certain ranges of the Dudhwa National Park will remain restricted due to the damaged approach road, till it becomes safe for public movement. As per the forest officials, all those who had booked the rest houses in line with the initial reopening schedule will be given a choice to postpone their stay or even seek refund for the same.
