About the Reserve

Rajasthan's Easternmost Wild Frontier

New Reserve: Rajasthan's newest tiger reserve — declared to protect the eastern Chambal corridor between Dholpur and Karauli districts.

Location: Eastern Rajasthan, bordering Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh — along the Chambal River's dramatic eastern course.

Landscape: Red sandstone ravines (beehads), rugged Vindhyan hills, Chambal river gorges and flat plains — hauntingly beautiful terrain.

Wildlife: Tigers, leopards, wolves, striped hyenas, gharials, Gangetic dolphins, mugger crocodiles and extraordinary vulture colonies.

Unique Features: The eastern Chambal here is richer in dolphins than the western stretch — excellent boating experience with multiple dolphin pods.
