Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Kaimur district, India
Description
Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary is a nature reserve spread across a plateau within the Kaimur Range, featuring cascading waterfalls, natural lakes, and thick forest coverage. The landscape offers habitats for various animals and plants across its expansive terrain.
History
The sanctuary was established in 1982 to protect the region's wildlife and forests. The area also holds ancient rock paintings that record hunting scenes and daily life from thousands of years ago.
Culture
Local communities have lived and worked in these lands for generations, shaping how the forest and surrounding areas are used today. Their presence remains woven into the daily rhythm of the sanctuary.
Practical
The cooler months offer the best visiting conditions when wildlife is most active in the open areas. Accommodation options exist within the sanctuary grounds, and the nearest railway station serves as the main entry point for reaching this region.
Did you know?
The reserve supports a notable population of antelopes that roam freely across the plateau landscape. In cooler months, flocks of migratory birds arrive from distant regions to spend their winter here.
