The Chambal Safari is an attempt to acquaint
visitors with a land that has retained its unique landscapes,
rugged charm and rare wildlife. A world far removed from the
chaotic madness of modern Indian cities – The National
Chambal Sanctuary (NCS) is a 400 km stretch of the river Chambal
that lies just 70 km from Agra and 125 km from Bharatpur.
The Chambal remains one of Northern India’s most pristine
and unpolluted rivers, home to an amazing abundance of wildlife
including rare and endangered species such as Gangetic
Dolphins, Gharials, Marsh Crocodiles, Smooth Coated Ottters,
eight species of Turtles, and over
290 species of resident and migratory birds, including
large nesting colonies of the Indian Skimmer.

Accompanied
by experienced local guides and naturalists, visitors
may explore the Chambal Valley at their own pace; on
boats, camels, jeeps or on foot. |
| After a day
marvelling at the wonders of the Chambal, guests relax
at the Chambal Safari Lodge ‘Mela Kothi’,
a haven of old- fashioned charm and hospitality nestling
in the midst of a sprawling 35 acre heritage plantation,
surrounded by family owned farmland. The plantation
is part of a much larger area that was used by the Zamindars
(feudal Chieftains) of Jarar to conduct their annual
cattle fair (Mela). |
| The Chambal
Safari Lodge is also ideally located for easy
access to a number of secluded and isolated sites of
natural and historical importance such as the romantic
ruins of Fort Ater, the ancient Bateshwar
Temples and the Patna Bird Sanctuary. |
