Kishanpur Sanctuary is part of the Dudwha Tiger Reserve. It is a relatively small area (about 200 square kilometers) with a relatively high number of tigers. For these reasons our guide assured us this was our best chance to see a tiger.
This is a poor part of India and the facilities at the Sanctuary are basic. It also seems very disorganised but everything seems to get done. The Sanctuary is on the outskirts of a village and it is an unbelievable experience to be driven down the 'streets' between mud houses. The villages go about their daily life and take no notice of the occasional safari jeep.
Once inside the Sanctuary you have to be impressed by the pristine jungle. In parts it is quite dense with the shade and shadow only being broken by a shaft of sunlight and in other areas the trees thin out to grassland, wetland and in one location a large lake. Tourists do not have free range in the sanctuary as some areas are partitioned off for local villages.
We were in the Sanctuary for a full day as we were told the most likely time to see a tiger is either early morning or late afternoon. This meant an early start, leaving the park at lunch time and going back when it reopened. The park closed at about 4:30 - about an hour before night fall started.
The sanctuary is not well known and the 'traffic' is minimal but it is rich in wildlife. We saw and heard no end of large and small birds including eagles and vultures, wild boars, endless species of deer and the illusive blue bull.
On our last session we were fortunate to have a very good tiger sighting. She walked along the edge of the grasses - we watched her for about ten minutes before she disappeared into the grassland. We also experienced her call to a mate or cubs - the sensation of the vibration cannot be put into words. Our view through the whole experience was outstanding. The guides are obviously in contact with each other and yet I would say that there were no more than ten vehicles at the end for this incredible experience.
We stayed at the excellent Jaagir Lodge which is just over one hour away by road. We had a private guide and private vehicle and our guide dealt with all of the formalities for entering the Sanctuary including 'registering' our passports.
I strongly recommend the Dudwha Tiger Reserve and the Kishanpur Sanctuary to increase your chance of seeing a tiger.

The Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary is a part of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, in Uttar Pradesh.
It has a dense riparian forest and moist deciduous trees like jamun, sal and teak, and Kishanpur's vegetation resembles Dudhwa's.
It is an compact area of 200 sq.km of Terai forest and meadows. Tiger sightings here are easier than Dudhwa!
It is still entirely a matter of chance to see this majestic striped cat!!
There are many migratory and resident bird species.
The state animal Swamp Deer or Barasingha lives mostly on the marshland and is spotted near the Jhadi Tal area.
Kishanpur has the highest number of Barasingha.
Spotted Deer, Barking Deer, Sambar and Hog Deer, can be seen grazing.
If you're lucky you may spot a Leopard or Wild boars!

We visited Kishanpur sanctuary this weekend and it was a pleasant experience. We spent 3 days and took 3 safaris. We were unable to see tiger however not disappointed at all as the jungle was very beautiful and untouched. You must go there. It's very different experience from Jim Corbett National park as it's very quiet and calm.

Kishanpur sanctuary is a part of the Dudhwa National Park and presently boasts of quite a few tigers around. There are good chances of tiger sighting in this range. The best time to visit is winters though.

Deers are in plenty. Big cat & other large animals are elusive. a big water body has many birds. kishanpur does not have Guest house inside jungle. staying at Dudhwa is better option

We had very good guides provided by the lodge. We saw so many birds, crocodiles, monkeys,... In Dudwa national Park you can go on a domestic elephant to spot rhinos. This was a really amazing experience

Kishanpur Sanctuary is part of Dudhwa National Park ( along with Katarniaghat)..its located around 30 kms from Palia Kalan..
You can book the safari from Dudhwa( which makes it more expensive as they charge you starting Dudhwa & back).
We had our own vehicle so we drove till Kishanpur, after confirming with one of the Gypsy drivers..our guide at Dudhwa connected us to him..
To reach Kishanpur from Palia Kalan/Dudhwa, one has to navigate through the middle of villages..there are fields on both sides of a narrow road and its quite interesting..the 'Kishanpur chowk' where the safari starts is like a big Tree where people assemble..this is literally a very remote safari..very unorganized, unlike Ranthambore etc!
Since people are not aware of this place, not more than 8-9 gypsies enter the jungle..during our safari , there were only 4 !
The forest is dense and quiet, with a large water body..you can end up seeing different bird & Deer species..there are 2 different watch towers for a 180 degree view of the marshy area/lake..
The jungle is smaller so its assumed that the probability of spotting a Tiger is higher than Dudhwa.. our main aim to visit the forest was to experience a very remote/unknown/offbeat safari..
If ever in Dudhwa, take time out for atleast 1 safari to Kishanpur..
It is THE most reserved & unpopulated Safari that we had the pleasure of visiting!

1. We visited Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary (KWLS) which is part of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR) from 16th to 17th Mar 2015.
2. We went by road from Gurgaon to Dudhwa (Gurgaon – Delhi – Ghaziabad – Hapur – Gajraula – Moradabad – Rampur – Bareilly – Pilibhit – Khutar – Mailani – Palia Kalan – Dudhwa). The distance of 450 Kms was covered in about 9 hours (departure from Gurgaon at 5.15 am and arrival at Dudhwa at 2.10 pm) with a 30 minutes stop for breakfast. The condition of the road is good for a major part of the journey (except for a 15 Kms stretch between Bareilly bypass and Nawab Ganj)
3. Kishanpur is about 30 Kms before Dudhwa. While driving from Pilibhit towards Dudhwa, we cross Khutar, Mailani and reach Bhira Kheri. At Bhira Kheri we take a left turn just before the petrol pump. We cross the railway line and take a right turn and follow the road for about 6 Kms to reach the Kishanpur Forest Office from where the jeep safari is taken.
4. DTR is spread over 1324 Sq. Kms of Lakhimpur- Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh. DTR comprises of 204 Sq Kms of Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary (35 Kms from Dudhwa) + 680 SQ Kms of Dudhwa National Park (DNP) + 440 Sq Kms of Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary (80 Kms from Dudhwa)
5. Only one jeep is available for safari at Kishanpur. One can ask the jeeps from Dudhwa to come to Kishanpur for the safari. Private vehicles are not allowed inside the forest.
6. The jeep safari charges for local jeep at Kishanpur is approx Rs. 2100 for 6 persons (Rs. 1200/- jeep charges + Rs. 300 Forest guide charges + Rs. 100 per person entry charges). THE JEEP SAFARI CHARGES (FOR JEEPS FROM DUDHWA) IS Rs. 3300/- (Rs. 2400 JEEP CHARGES + Rs. 300 FOREST GUIDE CHARGES + Rs. 100 PER PERSON)
7. The morning safari starts at 6.30 am and continues till 10.15 am
8. The evening safari starts at 4 pm and continues till 6.30 pm
9. As per the latest census, KWLS is home to over 20 Tigers. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DENSITY OF TIGERS AT KWLS, THE PROBABILITY OF SIGHTING A TIGER AT KWLS IS FAR HIGHER THAN SIGHTING A TIGER AT DUDHWA NATIONAL PARK
10. We did 2 safari’s at KWLS but missed out on seeing the tigers. But we were very close to seeing a tiger on both safari’s. On one occasion, we could hear the Tigress growling at its 2 cubs. As per the forest guide, the tigress would probably be at a distance of approx 50 feet camouflaged by the dense foliage. As per the forest guide, the lucky tourists get good sighting of the tigers at KWLS.
11. The park is also home to the famed Barasingha – the Swamp Deer, Spotted Deer, Sambar, Nilgai – the antelope, Jackals, Leopard, Langurs. Rhesus Macaque Monkeys.
12. KWLS is also home to White Rumped Vulture, Serpent Eagle, Shikra, Changeable Hawk Eagle, Indian Hawk Cuckoo, Barbets, Racket Tailed Drongo, Drongo, Black Hooded Oriole, Green Bee Eater, Jungle Babbler, Parakeet, Asian Barred Owl, Spotted Owlet, Brown Fish Owl, Peacock, Red Jungle Fowl, Flameback Woodpecker, Slaty Woodpecker, and a host of water birds especially in the winter near the huge lake (Jhadiataal)
13. Bhira Kheri railway station (Pilibhit – Palia Kalan section) is very close to the petrol pump.
14. Please check my review of Dudhwa National Park on Tripadvisor http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g1584824-d2459925-r260728927-Dudhwa_National_Park-Palia_Uttar_Pradesh.html
15. ONE CAN BOOK THE FOREST REST HOUSE AT KISHANPUR BY CONTACTING THE FOREST DEPARTMENT (by sending e mail / to dddtr(dot)palia(at)gmail(dot)com. You will have to pay the room charges through demand draft and send it to Palia Kalan office and the forest department will confirm your booking. It is a slow & tedious process (as compared to online booking). But the positive aspect is that the Room charges are Rs. 500/- only. You will have to carry your provisions / vegetables. The forest guard at the FRH will cook the food for you. THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT THE FRH IS 12 Kms INSIDE THE FOREST. One private resort is also available about 200 Metres from the Kishanpur Forest Office.
16. KISHANPUR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IS DEFINITELY WORTH A VISIT (MAKE SURE ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF THE JEEPS EITHER THE ONE AT KISHANPUR or FROM DUDHWA. With very less tourists & hence no crowding of jeeps, KWLS is a joy for the wildlife enthusiast.
