Ratan Mahal Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in Dahod district, India.

The sanctuary spans 55.65 square kilometers of forest terrain, featuring dry teak forests, mixed deciduous forests, and bamboo patches across eleven villages.

The forests of Ratan Mahal originated as property of the Devgadh Baria State rulers before becoming a protected sanctuary in March 1982.

Local tribal communities from forty-one villages in the interaction zone maintain traditional connections with the forest lands surrounding the sanctuary.

The sanctuary opens to visitors from October through May, with access available through nearby towns of Sagtala and Bariya or railway stations at Dahod and Godhra.

The protected area contains a dense population of sloth bears, which feed on native mahuda trees throughout different seasons of the year.
