The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has unveiled ambitious plans to elevate the Ranipur Tiger Reserve in Chitrakoot into a premier eco-tourism destination. With a detailed action plan already in motion, the Forest Department has commenced project implementation, allocating an estimated Rs 38 lakh for upgrading tourist facilities within the reserve and enhancing infrastructure in the surrounding buffer zone.
Spanning over a sprawling 230 sq km area, Ranipur Tiger Reserve stands as the fourth tiger reserve in Uttar Pradesh and the 53rd nationwide. Nestled 150 km from Madhya Pradesh’s Panna Tiger Reserve, it boasts a rich biodiversity, hosting tigers, leopards, bears, sambar deer, and chinkara.
Recognizing the immense tourism potential of this region, the government has intensified development efforts, adhering to stringent environmental standards to ensure sustainable growth. The focal point of this development lies in the creation of a luxury tent area within the reserve, offering visitors an immersive experience amidst nature’s splendor with top-notch amenities. Additional plans include upgrading civic amenities, developing lawn areas, and designated parking spaces, all aimed at enhancing the overall visitor experience.
