But if you are someone who wants to add a proper wildlife experience to the same trip, Pilibhit Tiger Reserve is right there. It\u2019s close, it\u2019s underrated, and once you\u2019ve been, you\u2019ll wonder why nobody talks about it more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide tells you everything you need to know about how to get there from Nainital, what the reserve is actually like, what you can see, when to go, and what to keep in mind before you head out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#How_Far_is_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve_from_Nainital\" >How Far is Pilibhit Tiger Reserve from Nainital<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#Best_Route_from_Nainital_to_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\" >Best Route from Nainital to Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#What_is_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\" >What is Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#Wildlife_You_Can_Spot_at_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\" >Wildlife You Can Spot at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#Attractions_Inside_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\" >Attractions Inside Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#Chuka_Beach\" >Chuka Beach<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#Best_Time_to_Visit_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve_from_Nainital\" >Best Time to Visit Pilibhit Tiger Reserve from Nainital<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/public\/blog\/nainital-to-pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/#Q1_How_far_is_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve_from_Nainital\" >Q1.

By cab, it takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours. If you prefer to travel by bus, the route via Rudrapur takes around 5 to 6 hours.<a href=\"https:\/\/distancebetween2.com\/nainital\/pilibhit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a doable drive. No mountain roads, no hairpin bends once you\u2019re past Haldwani. The terrain flattens out after Rudrapur, and the drive through the plains is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Route_from_Nainital_to_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\"><\/span>Best Route from Nainital to Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most straightforward road route is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nainital \u2192 Haldwani \u2192 Rudrapur \u2192 Kichha \u2192 Pilibhit Town \u2192 Mustafabad Gate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Pilibhit town, the reserve entry point at Mustafabad is roughly 40 km further. The road to Mustafabad passes through small villages and patches of forest. You\u2019ll start feeling the Terai landscape well before you actually enter the reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a route through Pilibhit that passes through scenic jungle, connecting Nainital via Haldwani. If you enjoy a scenic drive alongside fields and forest, this stretch is worth the extra time.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghumakkar.com\/?p=602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re travelling by train, the nearest railway station is Pilibhit Junction, from where you can hire a local cab to reach the reserve gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\"><\/span>What is Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pilibhit Tiger Reserve is situated in the Pilibhit district and Shahjahanpur District of Uttar Pradesh, forming part of the Terai Arc Landscape in the upper Gangetic Plain. The habitat is characterized by Sal forests, tall grasslands, and swamps maintained by periodic flooding from rivers. The Sharda Sagar Dam, extending up to 22 km, sits on the boundary of the reserve. The reserve lies along the India-Nepal border in the foothills of the Himalayas and the plains of the Terai and is one of India\u2019s 51 Project Tiger reserves.<a href=\"https:\/\/pilibhit.nic.in\/tourist-place\/pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/\">Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<\/a>, established in 2014, received the TX2 Award in 2022 for doubling its tiger population. The reserve spans more than 730 square kilometres of rich Terai forest, providing a natural habitat for diverse wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes it stand apart from more famous reserves is the low tourist footfall. The forest feels quiet and untouched in a way that most popular reserves no longer do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wildlife_You_Can_Spot_at_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\"><\/span>Wildlife You Can Spot at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tigers are the main draw, but there\u2019s much more here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reserve has around 80 Bengal tigers, and Royal Bengal Tigers and Indian Leopards are its top predators.<a href=\"https:\/\/bigcatsindia.com\/?p=25803531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other animals commonly spotted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotted deer, hog deer, swamp deer (barasingha), Indian elephant, sloth bear, wild boar, and the mugger crocodile. Visitors have also reported sightings of bears, crocodiles, eagles, and various bird species, with the lush green forest and canals and rivers adding to the overall experience.<a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlog.com\/place\/details\/484996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 400 species of birds have been recorded in Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, including red jungle fowl, hornbill, and peacock. The reserve is also home to the smooth-coated otter, one of only three otter species found in India, and the Indian rock python, which can often be spotted sunbathing in the autumn season.<a href=\"https:\/\/pilibhittigerreserve.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birdwatchers especially love Pilibhit. From October to March, the reserve sees an influx of local as well as migratory birds. If birds are your thing, carry binoculars and head out on the morning safari. The light is perfect, and the jungle is alive.<a href=\"https:\/\/pilibhittigerreserve.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Attractions_Inside_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve\"><\/span>Attractions Inside Pilibhit Tiger Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the safari, the reserve has several spots worth visiting. Major attractions inside the reserve include Chuka Beach, Jungle Safari, the Bifurcation Point, Siphon Canal, Sapt Sarovar, Kharja Canal, Laal Pul, Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Python Point, Crocodile Point, Otter Point, the Birding Point at Jhand Taal, Barahasingha Taal, Bhim Taal, and the Nature Interpretation Center at Mahof.<a href=\"https:\/\/pilibhit.nic.in\/tourist-place\/pilibhit-tiger-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your guide to cover as many of these as your safari timing allows. Each point has a different character, Python Point and Crocodile Point tend to be exciting even for people who have done several safaris before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chuka_Beach\"><\/span>Chuka Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is probably the most surprising thing about Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, there is a beach inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chuka Beach is quietly nestled between the Sharda Sagar Dam and Sharda Canal in the Pilibhit district. Tucked within the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, it offers a pristine escape and was formally designated as a tourist destination in 2014.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outlooktraveller.com\/destinations\/india\/all-about-chuka-beach-uttar-pradeshs-unsung-tourist-destination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Chuka Beach, you can enjoy boating, watch migratory birds over the water, and if you are lucky, spot crocodiles sunbathing on the banks. The sunset from this beach, with dense jungle on one side and the river on the other is something you won\u2019t forget quickly.<a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlog.com\/place\/details\/484996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best time to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/pilibhitbooking.com\/chuka-beach-pilibhit\">Chuka Beach<\/a> is between November and January, when the weather at Pilibhit is at its most comfortable.<a href=\"https:\/\/outlookindia.com\/outlookhub\/beach-in-uttar-pradesh-you-read-that-right-explore-chuka-beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Time_to_Visit_Pilibhit_Tiger_Reserve_from_Nainital\"><\/span>Best Time to Visit Pilibhit Tiger Reserve from Nainital<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">November to February is the sweet spot. The weather is cool, the birds are at their most active, and the forest is easy to walk through. This is when most visitors come and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">March to June is when tiger sightings are most reliable. The best time to spot tigers at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve is during the summer months of April to June, when animals gather near water bodies as the heat builds. Early morning safaris during this period are manageable and highly rewarding.<a href=\"https:\/\/bigcatsindia.com\/?p=25803531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">July to September is the monsoon. Tourist activity picks up again in the Chuka area after the monsoon, once the season reopens from November 1. Avoid planning during the closure period.<a href=\"https:\/\/theprint.in\/india\/pilibhit-tiger-reserve-tourism-season-extended-by-one-month-from-nov-1-to-jun-30\/3047977\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\"><strong>Q1.
