It’s home to over 360 species of birds, including migratory Siberian Cranes, painted storks, and darters. The park’s vast wetlands, dotted with marshes and woodlands, create a picturesque mosaic for birdlife to thrive.
  3. Desert National Park: Embracing the Thar Desert’s stark beauty, this park is a land of undulating sand dunes, rugged rocky outcrops, and acacia scrublands. It’s a refuge for endangered desert wildlife like the Great Indian Bustard, blackbuck antelope, and desert foxes. The park also boasts fossils dating back millions of years, offering a glimpse into Rajasthan’s prehistoric past.
  4. Sariska National Park: Nestled amidst the Aravalli hills, Sariska is known for its vibrant Tiger Reserve. Once the hunting ground of Maharajas, the park now shelters tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and a variety of deer species. The park’s ruins of ancient temples and forts add a touch of historical charm to its natural splendor.
  5. Mukundra Hills National Park: This park is a treasure trove of biodiversity, encompassing diverse habitats like dry deciduous forests, grasslands, and rocky ravines. It’s a haven for tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and over 200 species of birds. The park is also home to the endangered red-headed vulture and the elusive Indian pangolin.
