About Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary
Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary covers a stretch of forest and hills in the Chota Nagpur plateau. It is home to sambar, nilgai, chital, wild boar and a range of birdlife, with watchtowers set up at waterholes for viewing.
It is a quieter, less commercial sanctuary than India's better-known parks, which suits visitors looking for a low-key forest experience rather than guaranteed big-cat sightings.
