January 9 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 62 0

Lucknow is set to get India’s first urban night safari at the Kukrail Forest Area on the northern outskirts of the city.
The night safari will be a controlled nocturnal wildlife viewing experience within the city limits of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
It is inspired by the Singapore night safari model and aims to offer after-dark observation of wildlife.
The project will include nocturnal safari routes with restricted movement and low-impact lighting to minimise disturbance to animals.
The development will also enhance facilities at existing crocodile, gharial, and turtle conservation hubs within Kukrail Forest.
Infrastructure will include eco-friendly trails, bamboo huts, nature walks, and guided educational programs to promote eco-tourism and conservation awareness.
