Desert National Sanctuary

The Desert National Park is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the Thar
Desert and its rich fauna. The Sudashri forest post is the most ideal place
for observing wildlife in the Desert National Park. Sand dunes form less than
20 percent of the Park, which consists of craggy rocks, pavements and compact
salt lake bottoms, intermedial areas and fixed dunes.
Its inhabitants include the blackbuck, chinkara, wolf, Indian fox,
desert fox, hare and desert cat. Flights of sandfrouse start coming to
waterholes from sunrise onwards. One also hear the morning call of the grey
partridge. Blue tailed and green bee-eaters, drongos, common and bush quail
and Indian rollers are birds, which are commonly found around waterholes.
the park is also home to the great Indian Bustard which is peril of
extinction..

Hi Ian,
Just to keep you
informed re our conversation on your travel to India. we did get in touch
with the Durjay Sengupta who could assist you with all your travel/tour
arrangements. Durjay has acknowledged our email and said he would be writing
to you immediately, he is extremely prompt with his correspondence, honest
and upfront and think you could rely on him for the right advice and a
reasonable price. If you intend visiting Madhurai, maybe you would like to
discuss with Durjay a trip to Cochin as they have a houseboat which does
trips on the river, also a visit to the Nilgiris (the Blue Mountains of
India) it is beautiful!!!
