The story
Valmiki National Park is named separately in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change’s list of national parks as on December 2019.
The same parliamentary annexure lists Valmiki Wildlife Sanctuary separately. The two protected-area names should not be substituted for one another.
Bihar Tourism describes the larger Valmiki Tiger Reserve through its Himalayan Terai forest setting and combination of bhabar and terai tracts in West Champaran.
The December 2019 list records 335.65 km² for Valmiki National Park and 545.15 km² for Valmiki Wildlife Sanctuary. These are distinct dated rows, not two measurements of the same current visitor area.
