Golden triangle holiday packages cover delhi Jaipur and Agra and also it is possible to add more travel experiences along with the package. One such experiences is that of wildlife which can be done in Uttar Pradesh, close proximity to Delhi and Agra. Wildlife in Uttar Pradesh is synonymous with Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, but the state has a lot more to offer to enthusiasts and tourists alike! There are several parks and sanctuaries here that are home to a variety of species extinct in other parts of north India, such as the endangered Bengal Florican and the successfully reintroduced one-horned rhinoceros. The splendid and vast hinterlands of this state are alive with exceptionally diverse wildlife just waiting to be discovered. So rich is the population of the avifauna here that the birds not only cluster around lakes but also agricultural fields in various parts of the state. Such is the density of the vegetation that even the sun is an infrequent visitor inside these forests. Moving beneath the canopy of these trees, with the sun's rays peeking through the leaves, one can leisurely soak in the surreal surroundings. One often hears the Terai being referred to as one of the most productive ecological zones in the country and the reason for I his is its terrain-wildlife relationship. In simple terms, the ecosystem of the region is simply so rich that both predator and prey are able to co-exist in large numbers. The once widespread grasslands of the Terai however have now reduced to less than 500 sq kms. And even these are highly fragmented due to human settlements and farmlands, making it difficult for animals to migrate to the neighboring forests. Recently, the UP Forest Department has successfully managed to transfer about 39 sq kms of agricultural land in Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary, a part of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, back into the sanctuary area. The Pioneer (17 December 2012) notes that this successful transfer of agricultural land is a landmark in buffer zone utilization in tiger reserves across the country. 'The success story has been achieved within a year after the land was transferred in January [20121. The land was d [earlier-1 being cultivated for production) s, of agricultural crops for more than three decades under the Central State Seed Farm programme of the Ministry of Agriculture. However, recent camera trapping, as a part of Phase-4 monitoring of tiger population, has shown the presence of three tigers including two males and a female along with a wild ungulate density of 21 individuals per square kilometer. Yet another popular wildlife destination in Uttar Pradesh is the National Chambal Sanctuary, located along 400 sq kms of Chambal River and its famous ravines. Some 180 sq kms of the sanctuary along the river comes within UP. The total sanctuary area is spread over three states — Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh — and was notified mainly to secure the fast depleting population of the fish-eating gharials. Gangetic dolphins, otters, turtles and varied types of fish can be spotted along the river and ravines of Chambal. Eleven other sanctuaries scattered all over Uttar Pradesh are Kaimur, Kachhua, Chandra Prabha and Surha Tal, Suhelwa, Parvati Aranga, Sohagi Barwa, Ranipur, Vijai Sagar, Mahavir Swami and Hastinapur.
