National Chambal Sanctuary from Jaipur

The National Chambal Sanctuary protects a river ecosystem across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The Rajasthan Forest Department lists the sanctuary across several districts. It is known for gharials, freshwater dolphins, turtles and river birds, but access depends on authorised points and local conservation rules.

What to know

The sanctuary is a chance to learn about river wildlife and conservation in a landscape unlike Jaipur's dry urban setting. Visitors should choose a regulated, locally authorised access point.

Good to Know

Check current Forest Department notices, local access and whether boat operations are permitted. Use authorised operators, wear a life jacket when required, keep distance from wildlife and never discard plastic in or near the river. Species sightings are not guaranteed.
