Nahargarh Biological Park

Nahargarh Biological Park safari is the latest addition to Jaipur's adventure tourism attractions.  The Park is located on the Jaipur-Delhi highway in the vicinity of the Nahargarh Fort.  Located along the ridge of the Aravalli Hills, the Park was closed for years, as it was a designated Rescue Centre.

The safari is a guided tour of the 720 hectare forest land which is mainly tropical dry deciduous and tropical thorn forests, on rocky land dotted with granite and quartzite.  Riding through the paved roads of the forests offers spectacular views of the natural landscape, complete with rich flora and fauna, and also some heritage property dating back ages, including a stepwell.  Besides, there is also a hilltop point for viewing sunrise/sunset and the cityscape.  Some of the exotic animals known to inhabit the park are tiger, leopard, lion, panther, sloth bear, caracal, deer, gharial, crocodile, pangolin, jackal, wild dog, wolf, hyena, civet, ratel, otter, fox, rhesus monkey and langur.  A variety of reptiles and rare birds also find home in the jungles.

The safari tour is an hour and half ride into the sanctuary.  There is also a hiking/walking combined safari tour of moderate level intensity at the park which would take about 6 to 7 hours.  Yet another option of enjoying the Park is by an elephant ride.
