The diversity of the wildlife in Rajasthan
is as rich as those of flora and fauna. The great wealth of Rajasthan's
wildlife can be imagined with sight the majestic elephant, the dance of the
peacock, the camel stride, the roar of the tiger are unparalleled acts of
beauty. Watching birds and animals in their natural habitats is an
experience in itself.

This accounts for the immense opportunities for wildlife tourism in Rajasthan. Amidst the destruction of nature people are becoming aware of the importance of trees and wildlife for life on our planet.
The key wildlife Parks and Sanctuaries in Rajasthan are the following :
The
Ranthambore Tiger Reserve named after an imposing, more than a thousand year
old Ranthambore Fort, is set atop a broad hill, 700 feet above the ground.
The Reserve consists of dry deciduous forest, spread over a highly
undulating topography. The natural canvas is crowded with gentle to steep
slopes or vertical rocky escarpments of conical hillocks and the sharp
ridges of the Aravali, including the flat-topped Vindhyan hills. The
landscape is interspersed with wide and flat grassy valleys and narrow rocky
gorges.The tiger reigns supreme here. Ranthambore is among the few places in the world where this super-predator, symbol of power, strength and magnificence, can be observed at close quarters. There are about 25 tigers and 40 leopards in the reserve. These are supported by a large population of healthy herbivores. The Sambar is at its best in Ranthambore. So is the shy, sleek and fleet-footed Chinkara which gracefully hops away in the presence of human beings.
Keoladeo
National Park, better known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, has the distinction
of being a World Heritage Site. This small Park with an area of 29 square
kilometers consists of extensive marshes and scrubland. It is considered the
best waterfowl sanctuary in the world.During the monsoons thousands of egrets, herons, storks, cormorants, darters, spoonbills and ibises breed here, forming a congested heronry. Small acacia trees are tightly packed together with nests of several species. Migratory waterfowl start arriving in October. Soon the marshes are packed with colorful geese, ducks, cranes, pelicans and flamingos. But the limelight focused on the Siberian crane-one of the most threatened species in the world.
In India, Keoladeo is the only place where these cranes winter. Regrettably the number of Siberian cranes arriving here has been declining due to suspected hunting on their migratory route. Last year only 5 of them visited the Park, and at the time of writing in mid-November, none had visited Bharatpur.
Sariska
became a sanctuary in the year 1958. The sanctuary came under the project
Tiger in 1979 and became a national park in 1982. It is located at Kankwari
fort, near Alwar, on the Delhi Jaipur Highway. The terrain is predominantly
hilly, as it lies in the Aravalli range. It has total area of 788 sq.
kilometres, with a core area of approx. 47sq. kilometres. At last count in
1985, there 35 tigers were reported. Other carnivores of the area are the
panther, jungle cat, jackal and hyena. Three caracals were also reported
during the last census in 1985. Other animals include the Sambhar, Chital,
wild boar, hare, nilgai and umpteen porcupines.|
Maharajahs of Rajasthan ruled the
land with bejewelled fists and bequeathed it a legacy of forts that are
the best speakers of time. |
Palaces or the erstwhile
residences of the Maharajahs of yore create a milieu that's inescapably
attracting. Come and experience. |
The wildlife in Rajasthan is
perhaps as exotic as its culture. Be it birds, mammals or reptiles,
you'll see varieties you'll lose count of. |
As you finish your hunt with
forts, palaces and wildlife, get ready to soothe your souls at places
like Pushkar, Ajmer Sharif, Dilwara etc. |
