Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary

Pavagadh, Gujarat, India
Established in 1990, the Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary covers an area of about 130 square kilometers of undulating hills and dense forest. Before independence, this area was part of the princely state of Jambughoda. The forest is primarily composed of Teak, Mahua, and Bamboo thickets, providing a p erfect habitat for diverse wildlife. It is home to leopards, sloth bears, four-horned antelopes (Chousinghas), wild boars, and various species of snakes. The sanctuary also features two beautiful reservoirs, Kada and Targol, which attract numerous migratory birds. It is a haven for nature lovers and bird watchers. The sanctuary offers a quiet escape from the industrial noise of nearby cities. Camping at the Forest Rest House near Kada is a highlight for many visitors, offering a true "into the wild" experience under the stars.
