A rugged landscape of ravines and plateaus, recently declared as a dedicated tiger habitat.
Dholpur-Karauli Tiger Reserve is the newest addition to India's Project Tiger, encompassing the rich forests of Dholpur and Karauli districts in Rajasthan. It acts as a critical extension to the famous Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, providing a vital corridor for the dispersal of big cats.
The terrain is characterized by the spectacular Chambal Ravines, rocky plateaus, and dry deciduous forests. This unique topography offers a distinct jungle safari experience compared to other parks in Rajasthan. The reserve is bounded by the Chambal River, which supports a rich aquatic ecosystem including Gharials and Gangetic Dolphins.
Aside from the Royal Bengal Tiger, the reserve is home to Leopards, Sloth Bears, Hyenas, and Wolves. The rugged beauty of the landscape, combined with the thrill of tracking tigers in a newly established reserve, makes Dholpur-Karauli a must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts.
