Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary

Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Udaipur District of Rajasthan in the southern Aravalli Hills. The area of the sanctuary is 5.19 square kilometres. The sanctuary is located entirely within Girwa Tehsil of Udaipur district. The sanctuary is situated atop Bansdara Hill in the most vulnerabl

e habitat of the Aravallis, one of the oldest geological formations in the world. Unfortunately, the Aravallis' biological and non-biological resources have been overused and carelessly harnessed in the sake of rapid development that has gone well beyond sustainable levels, leaving the Bansdara Hills in a very hazardous state. The average temperature in summers can reach up to 42 °C, while the minimum temperature in winters is only about 6 °C. Generally, the humidity is low. The area has irregular and unequal rainfall. An average of 650 millimeters of rain fall there each year.
