Mayureshwar Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Maharashtra, India.
Mayureshwar Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Maharashtra with dry deciduous forest habitat. The woodland contains acacia, rosewood, and jujube trees that form the natural vegetation throughout.
The area received initial protection in 1919, but the sanctuary was officially established by the Maharashtra government in 1997. This formal designation transformed the region into a managed wildlife zone.
The sanctuary sits next to the Morgaon Ganesha Temple, a sacred pilgrimage destination for Hindu devotees. Visitors experience how this religious site shapes the local landscape and draws people throughout the year.
The sanctuary is accessible on foot or by vehicle, and you should bring plenty of water and wear suitable outdoor clothing. The cooler months offer better conditions for spotting wildlife during your visit.
This is Maharashtra's smallest wildlife sanctuary, yet it supports both Indian gazelles and gray wolves in the same space. The presence of predator and prey together in this compact area shows how nature thrives in small protected zones.
