Northern India
Jaagir Manor
Jaagir Manor is an elegant heritage lodge offering access to two of India’s more remote and rewarding wildlife destinations: Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and Pilibhit Tiger Reserve. Part of the IHCL SeleQtions family, the property provides all the expected comforts—charming rooms, attentive service, and an inviting outdoor pool framed by lush gardens rich in birdlife. Game drives into the surrounding parks are accompanied by expert naturalists.
Dudhwa, in particular, is reclaiming its status as a bastion for the one-horned rhinoceros. Originally reintroduced mid-20th century, the conservation effort resumed in 2025 with the release of two more individuals into the reserve’s ideal grassland-and-swamp habitat. With the vast majority of the species confined to Kaziranga and Chitwan, expanding its range into historical territory like Dudhwa is a vital step toward safeguarding its future with more viable populations.

What a fabulous time we had! Our trip delivered more than I thought possible. We had multiple tiger sightings, some extremely close so the wow factor was very much present.
The trip arrangements worked seamlessly. We were always met on time and the local reps were very helpful. Our accommodation was great and the staff were solicitous and very keen that we have a great time. The guides at the parks were very knowledgeable and their eyesight is incredible! We absolutely loved our time in India. Thank you for all the work you and your team did to organise our trip and for patiently answering all my questions.
