Barnawapara Entrance

Turturiya, Chhattisgarh, India
Jungle Gateway: This spot serves as a crucial entry point into the Barnawapara Wildlife Sanctuary from the Turturiya side. It is where the religious landscape transitions into a wild, untamed forest. The area is rich in teak and bamboo trees, creating a dense canopy. Visitors can often spot deer or monkeys right at the edge of the village. It is the starting point for many forest treks and safaris. Wildlife Hub: The sanctuary is home to leopards, sloth bears, and the state animal, the Wild Buffalo. The Turturiya gate is less crowded than the main entrance, offering a quieter experience. It provides a sense of being in the heart of nature. The birdlife here is particularly rich due to the nearby water sources. Eco-Tourism: This location promotes sustainable tourism and local tribal employment. It is a great place to learn about the flora and fauna of Central India.
