The 586 sq. km. Sanctuary supporting a rich variety of wildlife like the panther, sloth bear, wild boar, four horned antelope and scientifically bred crocodiles in the lake, are the major attractions.The sanctuary is also noted for flamingoes, cormorants, spoonbills and egrets usually seen in winter.
On the way to Kumbhalgarh lies a magnificent dam- the Rajsamand Lake. The royal lake, built in 1660 by Rana Raj Singh. From here one can have a spectacular view of the sunset with beautiful ‘ torans’ or arches and chhatris adorning the embankment. The lake has a Rest House of the Irrigation Department on the embankment below. The Rest House has a beautifully laid out garden interspersed with exuqisite sculptures excavated from the ruins nearby. The town of Kankroli nearby with a marvelous temple and a pretty palace on the hill top offers a scenic experience.
