Bir Gurdialpura Wildlife Sanctuary
Bir Gurdialpura Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Punjab's Patiala district, about 45km from Patiala city and 15km from Samana, along the Patiala-Samana-Shatrana road. The sanctuary covers around 620 hectares (1,533 acres) and is divided by the Ghaggar River.
Originally a hunting reserve for Patiala's rulers, it was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1989 and later surrounded by an eco-sensitive zone to enhance protection. The area features semi-dry tropical forests, grasslands, and is dominated by tree species such as Acacia, Eucalyptus, Neem, Shisham, and Albizia lebbeck.
It supports diverse wildlife including mammals like blue bull (nilgai), hog deer, wild boar, jackal, jungle cat, rhesus monkey, and small Indian civet, as well as birds such as peafowl, partridges, owlets, rollers, doves, kingfishers, and lapwings. Reptiles like the Indian rock python and monitor lizard are also found here, making it a significant conservation site for flora and fauna in the region.
