Chambal
River: view Photo Gallery
Hailed
as one of the cleanest rivers of India, has long been the mainstay
of the conservation efforts for saving the endangered gharial
and mugger crocodiles in the form of National Chambal Wildlife
Sanctuary. The river offers breathtaking views of the ravine architecture
of the famed badlands of Chambal Valley, in profile, and fleeting
glimpses of the rare Gangetic dolphin which was once believed
to be extinct. The river also attracts millions of migratory birds
each winter, the flamingos rendering the river into a mythical
fairyland. Situated at a stone's throw from Agra, Ranthambhore,
Bharatpur and Gwalior, this riverine treasure offers potential
to become a major attraction for nature lovers.
