This Lesser-known Beach In UP’s Pilibhit Offers Water Safari

In India, there are many places like Goa and Andamans that are famous for their water sports. People from all over the country visit these attractions as they offer a lot of water sports facilities. Apart from that, the Tehri region in Uttarakhand has always been in the limelight for its water-related sports. But now, it has been found that some similar facilities are available in Uttar Pradesh as well.

There is a beach in the state which, in reality, is the bank of a water reservoir of the Sharda River barrage. It is called Chuka Beach and is located in the Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh. The popular tourist destination has been offering a boat safari, which has been enjoyed by the visitors.

Chuka Beach has attracted a lot of visitors because of its unique boat safari. It has become a great activity for tourists as they can enjoy it even in Uttar Pradesh. All the visitors who are interested in trying this will have to reach Chuka Beach and book it from the Forest Corporation counter. Until the last season, to get the thrill of a boat safari, people had to book the entire boat. But now tickets can also be booked per person for this session. The price for booking the whole boat is Rs 5,000, while the individual price is around Rs 800. The total duration of the boat safari is around 45 minutes.

The best way to reach Chuka Beach is to reach Pilibhit district headquarters. From there, the tourists will have to reach Kalinagar. After that visitors will have to reach the Chuka Beach Entry Point of Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, which is located on Madhotanda-Khatima Road. There are many safaris, and visitors can take a direct one to Chuka Beach.

Upon reaching Chuka Beach, visitors can indulge in birdwatching and animal spotting. There are a variety of animals that can be spotted right alongside the shore; there’s a vast grassland that houses monkeys, black partridges, quails, flamingos, ducks, boars, wild hares and crocodiles.
