Mehrano Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected wildlife sanctuary in Khairpur District, Pakistan.
Mehrano Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Khairpur District covering 700 acres of riverine forest, agricultural land, and designated hunting zones near the Cholistan Desert. The site is home to around 4,000 large animals including blackbuck, Indian gazelle, hog deer, and wild boar that visitors can observe in specific areas.
The Talpur Mir royal family established this conservation area in 1790 to protect local wildlife and named it after the Mehran region. The family's involvement in maintaining this space has continued through successive generations.
The sanctuary occupies land within the historic Talpur Mir territory, and its operations today reflect the ongoing involvement of the royal family in wildlife management. Local guides bring knowledge passed through generations about animal behavior and seasonal patterns in this region.
The best time to visit is during cooler months when animals are more active and easier to spot throughout the space. A local guide can help visitors navigate the different areas and observe wildlife safely.
A forest lake within the sanctuary attracts migratory birds traveling from Siberia and Europe each year, mixing with resident species. This seasonal bird movement makes the location a changing observation point depending on the time of year.
