Explore Jhand Tal At Pilibhit Tiger Reserve

Discover Jhand Tal inside Pilibhit Tiger Reserve

Here one can see spotted deer, barasingha (swamp deer), wild boars, jackals, and sometimes, leopards and tigers can be seen around this tal. This is explained by the fact that it is situated at the edge of two active forest ranges and thereby serves as a meeting point of animals that want to move between territories. Jhand Tal is even more important to the survival of the wildlife during the dry season.

Bird watching is one of the most pleasant activities here. The pond is also inhabited by a great variety of resident, as well as migratory birds, such as kingfishers, egrets, herons, storks, and even, in a few cases, falcons and owls. The vegetation around the tal forms a perfect nesting site and shelter to a variety of species of avians, which makes it a dream ratio-paradise to any lover of birds.

The tourist wishing to visit Jhand Tal can access it on guided safaris, which may be booked at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, preferably on Madhotanda or Chuka eco-tourism zone. To make it even more entertaining, the staff presents forest guides in the reserve that are trained to identify wildlife and explain the ecological importance of such places.

The management around the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve has taken up Eco-tourism activities, which have secured and conserved Jhand Tal. The park is controlled effectively so that there is minimal human intrusion and limited human access to the area in the form of tourists, so that the natural eco-balance in the ecosystem is maintained.

To sum up, Jhand Tal cannot be seen simply as a waterbody; it is merely the living evidence of the conservation story of Pilibhit. More of a wildlife photographer, a bird watcher, or simply someone in need to get in touch with the tranquillity of nature, Jhand Tal has raw and unexplored Terai wildlife to offer.
