Connect to the primitive rhyme & rhythm
Covering an area of 78 sq kms in the vastness of the Vindhya mountains, the forest of the Chandraprabha Wildlife Sanctuary was named after the Chandraprabha river here.
Besides wild animals like the blackbucks, chital, sambar, nilgai, wild boars, porcupine and chinkara, reptiles like gharial and python, the sanctuary is also often seen as a haven for bird watchers with some 150 different bird species.
