Desert National ParkGeneral Information  Location: Jaisalmer Flora: Dhok, Ronj, Salai, Bear and Palm Trees Sight Seeing: Rajbaugh Lake, Milak Talao Lake and Padam Talao Lake The Desert National Park in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the Thar Desert and its diverse fauna. The Thar Desert, which is known as the 'ocean of sands', covers a large portion of western Rajasthan. It's a wrong notion of people that the deserts can't support a varied flora and fauna. The fragile ecosystem of the Thar supports a unique and varied wildlife species. In this vast ocean of sands lies the famous Desert National Park. There are three main lakes in this sanctuary - Rajbaugh Lake, Milak Talao Lake and Padam Talao Lake. These lakes are the major watering holes for the inhabitants of the national park. The rich flora of the park consists of Dhok, Ronj, Salai, Bear and Palm Trees. Covering approximately twenty percent area of the park are the sand dunes. Craggy rocks and compact salt lake bottoms, inter medial areas and fixed dunes form the unique features of the landscape of the Desert National Park.Birdlife in this sandy habitat is vivid and spectacular. Birds such as the Sand Grouse, Partridges, Bee-Eaters, Larks and Shrikes are commonly seen. Demoiselle Crane and Houbara arrive in the winter. The birds of prey seen here are tawny and Steppe Eagles, long legged and honey buzzards, falcons and kestrels. But the most outstanding of the avifauna is the great Indian bustard. This tall, heavy bird is an epitome of confidence and grace. Sudashri, a forest post located in the park, is the best place for spotting the wildlife of the Desert National Park and provides ideal conditions for snapshots. It is a good sight for bird lovers to see five or six bustards near Sudashri water hole. The Black Buck, Desert Fox, Wolf and Desert Cat are some of the animals that oblige the tourists with an occasional visit. » How to Reach Desert National Park?
