Palighat Chambal Crocodile Safari

Palighat Chambal Crocodile Safari is a boat safari on the Chambal River, about 30–40 km from Sawai Madhopur, inside the National Chambal Sanctuary. The sanctuary is one of the last strongholds of the endangered gharial. On the boat ride you can see gharials and mugger crocodiles basking on the sandy banks, turtles, and many river birds, including the Indian skimmer, kingfishers, storks and, in winter, migratory birds. With its dramatic ravines and peaceful river, Palighat is a perfect half-day trip to add to a Ranthambore safari for wildlife lovers and photographers.
