Kartaniya Ghat, on the Indo-Nepal border near Bahraich is an undiscovered gem. No commercial resorts blaring bollywood numbers, no tiger touts promising you a 'tiger spotting' and no tiger safaris, it is truly a paradise.
March to October months are the best for tiger spotting but in case you haven't been able to spot the elusive tiger, worry not as the ambience will more than make up for it.
We had gone in December in foggy and bone chilling cold and stayed at
Tharu Huts.And if you are game for a round of boating, then you can
cross over river Gherua and reach Nepal side.
The Nepal side of the
sanctuary boasts of rhinos and elephants, although we didn't dare go as
the deputy forest office warned us of elehpants rampaging the villages.
However all in all a memorable experience something which we will surely
repeat. A must visit for nature lovers, a word of caution though,
before packing your bags, do remember to get your reservations done with
the forest office at bahraich or lucknow.
