Darrah National Park

One of Rajasthan's most visited national parks is the Darrah National Park. The Darrah Wildlife Sanctuary, the Chambal Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Jaswant Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary are among the three wildlife sanctuaries that make up the organisation, which was founded in 2004.

Large tracts of forest that were originally the Maharaja of Kota's hunting grounds may be found in the national park. The wildlife sanctuary, which has a surface area of 250 sq km, is located 50 kilometres from Kota. In 1955, the sanctuary was formally designated as a protected area. Numerous animals live there, including wolves, wild boars, deer, nilgai, and cheetahs. The sanctuary is most visited from July to September.

 

Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary

The renowned Sajjangarh palace is barely 5 km away from this sanctuary, which is located in Sajjangarh. Along with many other species including blue bulls, hares, and jackals, you will witness reptiles like crocodiles and alligators. This location boasts captivating panoramic vistas and sceneries, including a lake, which adds to its allure. The entry fee to this location is INR 300, and it is open from 10 am to 6 pm. In addition, safaris are possible here. Prices could change.

 

So much to see! Will the heat be worth it in the end? Therefore, you must include at least a few of the places on this list when you plan your vacation to Rajasthan in the future. You won't be let down!
