Kumbhalgarh Sanctuary
Is
located in the most rugged of the Aravali in Pali, Rajsamand and Udaipur districts
of Rajasthan.
It takes name after the impressive historic fort of Kumbhalgarh, which come
into view over the Park. It is 578 sq Kms in area and at an altitude of 500
to 1,300m.
It is home to a very large variety of wild life, some of which are highly endangered
species. The wild life includes wolf, leopards, sloth bear, hyena, jackal, jungle
cat, smabhar, nilgai, chaisingh (the four horned antelope), chinkara and hare.
The bird life at Kumbhalgarh is also gratifying. The normally shy and untrusted
grey jungle fowl can be spotted here.
Peacocks and Doves can be sighted regularly feeding on grains scattered by the
jungle guards. Bird like the red spur owls, Parakeets, golden Oriole, grey Pigeons,
Bulbul, Dove and white breasted kingfisher can also be seen near the water holes.
Kumbhalgarh’s natural beauty is attracting many tourists and especially
for its accessibility from Udaipur, which is 100 Kms from here.
Foot tracking and horse safari organised by local tour operators are proving
to be very popular. A typical safari route enters the sanctuary from the Kumbhalgarh
Fort and cutting across the sanctuary it reaches Ghanerao, and then borders
an old abandoned road. On this road, one can sight Chinkaras, Neelgais, four
horned Antelope and many birds.
