National Chambal Sanctuary

Located near Agra in Etawah, along the banks of River Chambal, the Chambal Wildlife Sanctuary is a natural haven that is home to a vast variety of flora and fauna. River Chambal originates in the Vidhya ranges in Madhya Pradesh and finally meets River Yamuna in Etawah. Owing to this, the rich biodiversity ensured that the 635 sq km of area around it was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1979 that stretching across three states: Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

A highlight of the sanctuary is the fact that it is home to some of the country’s threatened animal species: it is where you can spot the critically endangered gharial, alongside the endangered Ganges river dolphin. After the gharial population was nearly wiped out in India during the 1970s, Chambal was chosen as one of the main areas for the reintroduction of the species into the wild, following a captive breeding and reintroduction programme.

One of the most popular activities at the sanctuary is a boat ride, which is a tranquil experience that lets visitors soak in the peaceful energy permeating the green expanse while spotting some of its wild floral and faunal treasures. Nature walks are also popular, letting travellers explore the vast green landscape on foot.

Chambal Wildlife Sanctuary is also ideal for birdwatching, and boasts over 290 species of resident as well as migratory aquatic and terrestrial birds. Some of the best times in a year to visit the sanctuary, in fact, are determined by the presence of flamingos – from November to May, the area hosts them, while in September you’ll find the rudy shelduck arriving here. Of the resident birds, the Indian skimmers thrive here in vast colonies.

Chambal ghariyal sanctuary is one of the amazing place to visit with family and friends. Fir photography it's absolutely good place. Crocodile and ghadiyal habitat. This place is around 25-30km from Sawaimadhopur but worth going if you love nature and wild aquatic species. Take a taxi from Sawaimadhopur route is clean and good. Take a boat ride at chambal which costs around 3k-4k for normal engine boat. Speed boat charge is high around 10k. In normal boat easily 6-8 people can sit. You can explore small Chambal river and see crocodiles, ghariyals, migratory birds, if lucky then tortoise. Wonderful habitat. Don't go much near to crocodile and ghadiyal they feel disturbed and go into the water. As they are shy animals. I visited in the month of November 2022. Must visit and enjoy Chambal safari. Worth going. On the way to sanctuary mansarovar lake is beautiful place to halt for sometime.
