Tal Chhapar Wildlife Sanctuary

A 719-hectare grassland sanctuary famous for blackbucks, migratory cranes, and rare desert wildlife at the edge of the Thar.

Tal Chhapar Wildlife Sanctuary lies about 85 km from Churu town within the district, set in a flat saline grassland depression unique in Rajasthan's ecology. Declared a protected reserve in 1962, it is best known for its thriving blackbuck population. Chinkara, desert fox, and jungle cat are also regularly spotted. The sanctuary sits on a major migratory bird flyway, making it a prime destination for birdwatchers who come to see Demoiselle Cranes, Indian Bustards, sand grouse, eagles, and bee-eaters. Jeep safaris are available.
