A new eco-tourism project is being developed near Dudhwa National Park at Chandan Chowki in Lakhimpur Kheri district through a collaboration between BVG India and the Uttar Pradesh Eco Tourism Development Board (UPETDB).
As part of the initiative, BVG India is developing the ‘BVG India Resort’, which is expected to become fully operational by March 2026. Spread across five acres, the resort anchors the Chandan Chowki eco-tourism project and is designed as a nature-led retreat centred on wellness and local culture.
The resort has been planned using environmentally sensitive and low-impact design principles to ensure it blends seamlessly into the surrounding forest landscape. Facilities at the resort include multiple accommodation options, recreational amenities, food and beverage services, and spaces for small conferences and social events.
BVG India is responsible for the complete lifecycle of the project, including planning, design, development, financing and operations. The scope also includes maintenance of accommodation and facilities, compliance with regulatory requirements, and marketing and promotional activities. The project aims to offer a wholesome tourism experience combining wildlife and wellness.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Hanmantrao Gaikwad, Chairman, BVG India said, “BVG India Resort is an expression of our belief that tourism must respect nature and create opportunities for local communities. Through this project near Dudhwa, we have sought to create a destination that allows visitors to experience the region’s natural beauty and cultural richness, while preserving what makes it unique. This is a long-term commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism in Uttar Pradesh.”
A key highlight of the project is its focus on community engagement. Dedicated spaces have been created for Tharu tribal handicrafts, enabling local artisans to showcase their work and benefit economically. Organic horticulture areas within the resort further enhance the visitor experience by highlighting sustainable rural practices.
