National Chambal Sanctuary

National Chambal Sanctuary is a protected wildlife reserve located along the Chambal River, spanning across Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. Established in 1979, this sanctuary is known for its pristine riverine ecosystem and is home to several endangered species, including the Gharial (critically endangered crocodilian), Gangetic Dolphins, and Indian Skimmers.

The sanctuary is a key destination for wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers, offering boat safaris along the Chambal River to observe exotic bird species, marsh crocodiles, and other aquatic wildlife. It also serves as an important conservation zone under Project Crocodile and Project Dolphin.
