Kumbhalgarh Sanctuary Rajasthan
The 586 sq. km. sanctuary sporting a rich variety of wild life like the
panther, sloth bear wild boar, four horned antelope and scientifically bred
crocodile in the lake are the major attractions. The sanctuary is also known
for flamingoes, cormorants, spoonbills and egrets usually seen in the winter.
The majestic fort of Kumbhalgarh overlooks the sanctuary. Best time to visit
is March to May and September to November.
Kumbhalgarh is just 90 kms. from Jodhpur on the Udaipur - Pali - Jodhpur
road. This jungle adjoins the historical Kumbalgarh Fort and used to shield
the fort from invaders. Now it protects the rare species of animals, struggling
for their survival. Situated in the lush green region of Udaipur, Kumbalgarh
is the only sanctuary of Rajasthan, where activities of the rarely found
wolf can be seen. More than forty wolves inhabit the Joba area of the
sanctuary. During summer, when water becomes scarce, pack of wolves roaming
around water holes is a common sight.
