Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park

The 72-hectare park contains numerous native plant species and geological formations that represent the natural ecosystems of the Thar Desert region.

The park, established in 2006, transformed an area dominated by invasive vegetation into a restored ecological zone surrounding the 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort.

Local guides share knowledge about traditional Rajasthani plants, explaining their medicinal properties and roles in regional customs throughout the walking trails.

The park maintains several marked paths with interpretive centers, offering guided tours and educational programs focused on desert ecology from October through March.

Rock formations within the park display distinct geological layers dating back millions of years, presenting a natural timeline of the region's transformation.
