Very encouraging and thrilling news is coming out for wildlife lovers and tourists from Bihar’s only and full of natural beauty Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR). After a long wait of the tourists, as soon as the gates of VTR were opened for the tourists for this new season, there was an influx of tourists from every corner of the country to this reserve situated in the lap of nature. On the very first day of the session, a large number of tourists arrived to enjoy the jungle safari and nature trail, which gave a different glow to the entire forest complex. The most special thing was that on the very first day, many tourists got to see the Royal Bengal Tiger, known as the king of the jungle, leopard, wild boar and a herd of deer very close, seeing which the tourists jumped with joy and a different thrill was clearly visible on their faces.
Every year during the monsoon season (rainy days), keeping in mind the breeding season and safety of wildlife, like most of the tiger reserves in the country, entry of tourists and jungle safari is banned in Valmiki Tiger Reserve for a few months. During this period the forest makes its natural recovery and grass and water sources develop. This year also, as soon as the doors of VTR were reopened for tourists after completing the administrative preparations after the end of monsoon, the tourism industry and local businessmen heaved a sigh of relief. Forest department officials had made special arrangements to welcome the tourists on the first day, which included making the tourists aware about environmental protection and forest rules as well as giving them a traditional welcome.
The biggest dream of tourists during jungle safari is to see a wild animal, especially a tiger, with their own eyes. Valmiki Tiger Reserve proved to be very lucky in this matter because on the very first day of the session, when the gypsies moved towards the inner paths of the forests (like Gonauli and Manguraha ranges), many lucky tourists got to see the work of the tigress and her cubs. Apart from this, seeing Chital, Sambar, Bear and colorful birds of different species running in the open, the tourists captured these moments forever in their cameras and mobiles. Tourists said that the experience they got on the very first day of VTR was more than what they had expected, making it a memorable trip for their entire family.
This huge rush of tourists to Valmiki Tiger Reserve is not only a matter of joy for wildlife lovers, but it is also proving to be a huge boon for the local people and rural economy of West Champaran region. The opening of the VTR creates new opportunities for local youth to run gypsies, guide, operate homestays and sell traditional handicrafts. The Forest Department and the District Administration are also continuously making efforts to provide better basic facilities to the tourists coming here so that they can enjoy nature without any hassle. Promotion of eco-tourism not only improves the livelihood of the local residents, but also increases the awareness of the local people towards the conservation of forests and wildlife.
If you are also planning to visit Valmiki Tiger Reserve during the coming holidays or in the winter season, then this time is considered to be the best time to go there. During this time, the weather here is pleasant and the coolness of the morning and evening doubles the fun of a forest walk. However, considering the huge demand of tourists, it would be wise to book Gypsari Safari online in advance through the official website of the Forest Department. Also, while entering the forest, it is mandatory to completely ban the use of plastic and strictly follow all the rules of the forest department. This spectacular start of Valmiki Tiger Reserve testifies that this time’s tourism season is going to be one of the most successful seasons in history.
