Ranipur Wildlife Sanctuary
Ranipur Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the Chitrakoot district of Uttar Pradesh, was established in 1977 and spans about 230 to 263 square kilometers across the Vindhya range. It features dense deciduous forests, rolling hills, and riverine habitats nourished by rivers like Betwa and Dhasan.
The sanctuary is home to a diverse range of wildlife including tigers, leopards, sloth bears, sambars, blackbucks, chinkaras, wolves, wild dogs, and various bird species such as peafowl and storks. Its flora includes bamboo, mahua, tendu, sal, palas, and several broad-leaved trees. Ranipur became a tiger reserve in 2022, serving as a buffer and expansion area linked to the nearby Panna Tiger Reserve. The sanctuary also holds cultural significance with historic temples and archaeological sites nearby, attracting nature lovers and pilgrims alike.
Visitors can enjoy safaris, birdwatching, and nature walks, particularly from November to June when the weather is favorable. Access is possible by road, rail (nearest station Manikpur), and from airports like Prayagraj (Bamrauli). The sanctuary offers a tranquil experience amid rich biodiversity and scenic landscapes.
