HISTORY BEHIND MELA CAMP

Eco Deluxe Chambal Wildlife Safari Cottage

The fair was a source of great pride and prestige for the family, with traders coming from as far afield as Maharashtra and Orissa.

National Chambal Sanctuary

  • Ancient Indian texts refer to the Chambal as the Charmanyavati – originating from the blood of thousands of cows sacrificed by the Aryan King Rantideva. Its ‘unholy’ origins have certainly helped the Chambal survive, and thrive, untouched and unpolluted, and it remains one of India’s most pristine rivers.
  • The Chambal Ravines (altitude 200-500m) are the product of centuries of soil erosion by flood and rainwater. They form an incredible maze of intertwining mud cliffs, with tropical dry scrub forest vegetation, that provide shelter for numerous birds, mammals and reptiles.
  • The National Chambal Sanctuary (NCS) is a 400 km stretch of the river Chambal and a 1 to 6 km wide swathe of the ravines on both sides of the river, covering an area of 1235 sq. km.
  • Granted Protected Area Status in 1979 to help revive Gharial populations decimated by indiscriminate poaching, the NCS is an IUCN Category IV (Managed Nature Reserve) lying in the Indus-Ganges Monsoon Forest belt.
  • The Sanctuary begins downstream of the Kota barrage in Rajasthan. The sanctuary’s lower limit is near Panchnada, approximately 5 km after the confluence of the Chambal and the Yamuna at Bhareh, in Uttar Pradesh.
  • The NCS is one of the last surviving habitats of the Gangetic River Dolphin.
  • Provides protection for 1200 Gharials & 300 Marsh Crocodiles.
  • Home to eight species of Turtles and the Smooth-coated Otters.
  • The Sanctuary boasts of a rapidly increasing and impressive bird list of over 330 species of resident and migratory birds, and is gaining a reputation as one of the most reliable places to see the Indian Skimmer.Kunwar. Munendra Pal Singh
