Uttar Pradesh Introduces Helicopter Service From Lucknow to Dudhwa National Park

A new service slashes travel time from Lucknow to Dudhwa National Park, making the wildlife haven more accessible for tourists.

Starting November 25, Uttar Pradesh is transforming the way tourists experience its natural treasures. A new helicopter service from Lucknow to Dudhwa National Park will cut the road travel time of 4.5 hours to just one hour. Priced at ₹5,000 for a one-way ride, this initiative is set to attract more visitors to the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, a globally renowned wildlife sanctuary.

The reserve, spread across 884 square kilometers, offers a home to majestic tigers, rhinos, elephants, and a myriad of bird species, making it a hotspot for both domestic and international tourists. Operated in partnership with JetServe Aviation Tourism Ltd., the service will fly from Lucknow’s Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport to the Palia airfield near Dudhwa.

This Lucknow to Dudhwa National Park helicopter service is part of a larger effort by the Uttar Pradesh government to boost tourism and improve access to ecotourism destinations like the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve and Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. With faster and more comfortable travel options, exploring Uttar Pradesh’s wildlife wonders has never been easier.
