Gonda sits in the Terai belt of eastern Awadh, close enough to Nepal that several of its neighbouring towns—Balrampur and Tulsipur among them—sit right along the border. The district’s main natural draw is the Suhelwa Wildlife Sanctuary, a stretch of Terai forest sheltering tigers, leopards and elephants that occasionally cross from Nepal’s adjoining reserves. Gonda is typically explored in about 1 day. The best time to visit is October to March. Nearby points of interest include Paska. Other notable highlights include historic and cultural significance in Gonda, rich heritage and traditional architecture, and important religious and spiritual sites. It falls within Uttar Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, India.
