Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary picture tour

Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary is well known for its rich reptilian population. Also it is the habitat of Giant Grizzled Lizard, Star Tortoise and Mugger Crocodile, which are considered as rare species.

Here are a few photos of the landscape. You can see the type of plants that grow mostly in dry areas.  That is because Chinnar is in the rain shadow region where it rains only less than two months (48 days average).
