About Sanjay Dubri national Park
The Land of the White Tiger – Mohan the famous White Tiger of the Maharaja of Rewa – was actually caught at Sanjay Dubri National Park in 1951. Dense Sal forests characterize this landscape, with areas of Bamboo. There are some areas of more open forests as well.
This area is a corridor for Wild Elephants which come in from Chattisgarh – the neighboring state which is very close to this Tiger Reserve. Recently, Wild Elephants have entered Bandhavgarh as well – depicting the strength of the corridor in light of lack of habitat or disturbance in Chattisgarh.

His majesty, the national animal of India. The Royal Bengal Tiger is considered by many naturalists as one of the most powerful apex predators. You catch a glimpse of this big cat in action at the Sanjay Dubri National Park.
It has larger rosettes than the other subspecies, with a paler coat in desert habitats, greyer in colder climes and more ochre in rainforest habitats. They remain well-camouflaged at night but come down from trees to hunt during the day.
It is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning Southeast Asia. Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.
