National Chambal Sanctuary

The sanctuary extends over 5,400 square kilometers across three states, featuring clean river waters and sandy banks along the Chambal River.

The National Chambal Sanctuary received official protection status in 1978 through separate notifications for Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan territories.

Local communities near the sanctuary maintain traditional practices of river-based agriculture and fishing while adapting to conservation requirements.

Visitors enter through multiple points including Pinahat and Nandagon Ghat, with boat tours available for observing aquatic wildlife throughout the year.

The sanctuary contains the largest wild population of gharials, supporting 320 bird species and eight turtle species in the unpolluted Chambal River.
