MHTR has the largest active nesting site of Indian Vulture
Kota, Bundi, Jhalawar, and Chittorgarh 4 Sept: Today is the International vulture awareness day, and if we talk about Tiger Reserves, MHTR leads the chart.
The Ravines of Chambal are one of the largest active nesting sties of Indian Vulture in South Asia, also here you can see Egyptian Vulture, White Rumped Vulture, King or Red Headed Vulture and Sometimes Migratory Eurasian Griffon and Himalayan Griffon.
In Kota Gapernath of Borabas Range and Gradiya Mahadev of Jawahar Sagar Range are the best places to see vultures.
While in Jhalawar just adjoining territorial Gagron Range there is cliff named as Gidhh Karai (Means Ravine of Vultures), this the active nesting site of Vultures in Jhalawar.
While Chittorgarh's Rawatbhata and Bhaisrodgarh also have colonies of Vultures. Throughout the upstream of Jawahar Sagar you can watch vultures either resting in the cliffs or feeding their chicks.
As the sun rises and air starts to fill with warm air one by one they leave their nest and soar high and high into the skies.
During Wintery a Migratory season cousins of Indian Vulture, the Eurasian and Himalayan Griffons visits these places. MHTR is the only place in Rajasthan where you can watch vultures while taking a boat ride.
Bundi along with Baran has also good number of Vultures, Forest of Shahbaad of Baran District is also vulture habitat.
Meanwhile White Rumped and King or Red headed vultures are quite rare, all vultures found here are categorised as Critically Endangered while Egyptian Vulture is categorised as Endangered.
Though slowly and gradually their numbers are increasing after ban on the drug known as diclofenac which earlier proved fatal for vultures.
Still there is a need to develop a serious conservation action plan for vultures, if we want them to see soaring high in future.
