Uttarakhand to get its first crocodile safari in Kumaon’s Khatima

Uttarakhand is planning to set up the state’s first crocodile safari in Surai forest range in Kumaon, said forest officials. Since crocodiles are in good numbers in this forest range, a proposal for crocodile safari has been prepared.

The spot where the safari is being planned is 12 km from Khatima town of US Nagar and 20 km from Pilibhit tiger reserve in Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh. Khakra had 170 crocodiles in the last count held in 2018.
