Sorsan Wildlife Sanctuary in Rajasthan merits a position on your trip itinerary if you are someone who finds tranquilly in the quiet of nature, who gets excited by the flutter of wings, or who likes seeing animals in unspoiled environments. Often called the “Parindaon Ka Ghar” (Home of Birds), this sanctuary is a lesser-known treasure tucked away in the Baran region of southern Rajasthan. Though it lacks the renown of Ranthambore or Sariska, Sorsan quietly has amazing variety of birds and fauna, including the endangered Great Indian Bustard.
Sorsan provides a distinctive and quiet getaway for those eager to see the wildlife reserves in Rajasthan.
