The reserve retains about 90% of its area in a natural state\, and features a 2.5 km nature-trail\, dense Miyawaki forest patch\, open-gym\, children’s park\, cycling track\, yoga-point and an “oxygen point” planted with high-oxygen trees. The design reflects an emphasis on minimal disturbance to the forest floor\, the preservation of native vegetation\, and providing an urban refuge for city-residents seeking a connection with nature.								\n				\n				\n				\n									While primarily a recreation and wellness destination\, Lakshmanpuri hosts a number of flora and fauna typical of the region—seasonal shrubs\, native trees\, birdlife and small mammals. As urban encroachment\, pollution\, littering and heavy foot-traffic rise\, the site faces several conservation challenges. To protect its ecological value the reserve management focuses on preserving natural vegetation\, reducing paved surfaces\, controlling visitor numbers in sensitive zones\, and developing awareness programmes among visitors. With careful stewardship\, Lakshmanpuri offers a promising model of how urban-green reserves can both serve recreation and support biodiversity within a growing city like Lucknow.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Prateek KashyapA statistician-turned-wildlifer with over 12 years of birding experience in the Teria\, with key roles in Bengal Florican and Dudhwa Rhino conservation projects.

Raptors such as the Shikra\, Black Kite\, and Black-winged Kite patrol the skies\, while Red-wattled Lapwings occupy open patches and pathways near the reserve’s water bodies. The presence of Jungle Nightjar and Jungle Owlet indicates a healthy tree cover suitable for roosting and nesting\, while the colorful Alexandrine Parakeet\, Common Kingfisher\, and White-throated Kingfisher add vibrancy to the avian community.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The reserve also shelters a variety of smaller woodland and garden birds that thrive in its native vegetation. Green Bee-eaters\, Hoopoes\, Ashy Prinias\, and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatches are common sights\, while Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls fill the area with constant calls. In the flowering and fruiting seasons\, Black-hooded and Golden Orioles frequent the canopy\, adding bright splashes of yellow. The presence of Long-tailed Shrikes\, Brown Shrikes\, and Spangled Drongos highlights the mix of open and semi-wooded habitats that attract both insectivores and omnivores. Together\, this diversity of species not only enriches the visitor experience but also underscores the reserve’s ecological importance as a thriving urban refuge for birds within Lucknow city.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rufous Treepie				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Nightjar				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Grey Hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Hair-crested Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Francolin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-hooded Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-rumped Flameback				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Owlet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Long-tailed Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									At the Lakshmanpuri Ecotourism Reserve\, 21 participants explored the serene woodland habitat and recorded 34 bird species.

The reserve retains about 90% of its area in a natural state\, and features a 2.5 km nature-trail\, dense Miyawaki forest patch\, open-gym\, children’s park\, cycling track\, yoga-point and an “oxygen point” planted with high-oxygen trees. The design reflects an emphasis on minimal disturbance to the forest floor\, the preservation of native vegetation\, and providing an urban refuge for city-residents seeking a connection with nature.								\n				\n				\n				\n									While primarily a recreation and wellness destination\, Lakshmanpuri hosts a number of flora and fauna typical of the region—seasonal shrubs\, native trees\, birdlife and small mammals. As urban encroachment\, pollution\, littering and heavy foot-traffic rise\, the site faces several conservation challenges. To protect its ecological value the reserve management focuses on preserving natural vegetation\, reducing paved surfaces\, controlling visitor numbers in sensitive zones\, and developing awareness programmes among visitors.

The reserve retains about 90% of its area in a natural state\, and features a 2.5 km nature-trail\, dense Miyawaki forest patch\, open-gym\, children’s park\, cycling track\, yoga-point and an “oxygen point” planted with high-oxygen trees. The design reflects an emphasis on minimal disturbance to the forest floor\, the preservation of native vegetation\, and providing an urban refuge for city-residents seeking a connection with nature.								\n				\n				\n				\n									While primarily a recreation and wellness destination\, Lakshmanpuri hosts a number of flora and fauna typical of the region—seasonal shrubs\, native trees\, birdlife and small mammals. As urban encroachment\, pollution\, littering and heavy foot-traffic rise\, the site faces several conservation challenges. To protect its ecological value the reserve management focuses on preserving natural vegetation\, reducing paved surfaces\, controlling visitor numbers in sensitive zones\, and developing awareness programmes among visitors. With careful stewardship\, Lakshmanpuri offers a promising model of how urban-green reserves can both serve recreation and support biodiversity within a growing city like Lucknow.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Prateek KashyapA statistician-turned-wildlifer with over 12 years of birding experience in the Teria\, with key roles in Bengal Florican and Dudhwa Rhino conservation projects.

Green Bee-eaters\, Hoopoes\, Ashy Prinias\, and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatches are common sights\, while Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls fill the area with constant calls. In the flowering and fruiting seasons\, Black-hooded and Golden Orioles frequent the canopy\, adding bright splashes of yellow. The presence of Long-tailed Shrikes\, Brown Shrikes\, and Spangled Drongos highlights the mix of open and semi-wooded habitats that attract both insectivores and omnivores.

The reserve retains about 90% of its area in a natural state\, and features a 2.5 km nature-trail\, dense Miyawaki forest patch\, open-gym\, children’s park\, cycling track\, yoga-point and an “oxygen point” planted with high-oxygen trees. The design reflects an emphasis on minimal disturbance to the forest floor\, the preservation of native vegetation\, and providing an urban refuge for city-residents seeking a connection with nature.								\n				\n				\n				\n									While primarily a recreation and wellness destination\, Lakshmanpuri hosts a number of flora and fauna typical of the region—seasonal shrubs\, native trees\, birdlife and small mammals. As urban encroachment\, pollution\, littering and heavy foot-traffic rise\, the site faces several conservation challenges. To protect its ecological value the reserve management focuses on preserving natural vegetation\, reducing paved surfaces\, controlling visitor numbers in sensitive zones\, and developing awareness programmes among visitors. With careful stewardship\, Lakshmanpuri offers a promising model of how urban-green reserves can both serve recreation and support biodiversity within a growing city like Lucknow.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Prateek KashyapA statistician-turned-wildlifer with over 12 years of birding experience in the Teria\, with key roles in Bengal Florican and Dudhwa Rhino conservation projects.

The presence of Jungle Nightjar and Jungle Owlet indicates a healthy tree cover suitable for roosting and nesting\, while the colorful Alexandrine Parakeet\, Common Kingfisher\, and White-throated Kingfisher add vibrancy to the avian community.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The reserve also shelters a variety of smaller woodland and garden birds that thrive in its native vegetation. Green Bee-eaters\, Hoopoes\, Ashy Prinias\, and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatches are common sights\, while Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls fill the area with constant calls. In the flowering and fruiting seasons\, Black-hooded and Golden Orioles frequent the canopy\, adding bright splashes of yellow. The presence of Long-tailed Shrikes\, Brown Shrikes\, and Spangled Drongos highlights the mix of open and semi-wooded habitats that attract both insectivores and omnivores.
