To visit only wildlife sanctury in Delhi

Welcome to Asola Bhati Sanctuary

A Landscape Approach

The Asola-Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary has a unique place in India’s network for protected areas. It is the only protected area representing the northeastern, rolling outliers as a landform of the country’s oldest hill ranges, the Aravallis. Thus it geographically represents a landform not earlier represented in the national P.A. network. This, therefore, is a value of national significance. As a ‘wildlife’ sanctuary it is very different from the popular perception of a sanctuary. The sanctuary covers an area of 32 sq kms and this urban sanctuary could be a role model for all the conservation work undertaken by the Department of Forests & Wildlife GNCT of Delhi.
