Exploring the diverse ecosystem
You don’t have to be a professional to be interested in the diverse ecosystem and wildlife of the Thar desert. It makes for not only an exciting experience but also a deeply fulfilling one. Imagine the magic of encountering rolling sand dunes, rugged rocks and tranquil salt lakes all in one place. Did you know that the Thar Desert can maintain only some kinds of shrubs, grasses, and xerophyte plants? And yet so many exotic life forms have made this desert their natural habitat and are thriving beautifully. Whether you are a Bird enthusiasts or not, the sight of majestic avian species like the Great Indian Bustard, Eagles, Harriers, Falcons, Buzzards, Kestrels and Vultures is sure make your heart skip a beat. Desert National Park is also a temporary home to migrating raptors like Himalayan and Eurasian Griffon Vultures, Eastern Imperial Eagle and Saker Falcons that migrate across Eurasia from time to time. That’s not all. This park also houses around 40 species of reptiles and is a treasure trove of an extensive geological history dating back 180 million years.
