The Darrah Wildlife Sanctuary, located 56 kilometres from Kota, is the ideal refuge from the city's congested streets. Originally, the Royal family used this reserve as a hunting place. In 1955, it was re-established as a sanctuary. Jeep safaris and trekking are available here. Antelopes and deer scurry by you in this area. Chambal, Darrah, and Jaswant Sagar are the three regions that make up the terrain. It is spread out over a huge region of 250 square kilometres, giving visitors plenty of possibilities to get lost in the maze of wildlife and environment.
