DARRAH NATIONAL PARK
Damodarpura, Kota, Rajasthan, India
The Darrah National Park consists of three wildlife sanctuaries in Rajasthan-Chambal Wildlife Sanctuary, Jawahar Sagar Sanctuary and Darrah National Park. Spread out in hilly terrain, the Darrah National Park is one of the noteworthy national parks in Rajasthan. Located at a distance of 50 kilometres away from Kota, the vast forest tracts of the Darrah National Park, also known as the Mukundra Hills National Park, are home to many species of animals and birds. In earlier times, the Darrah National Park used to be a royal hunting game reserve for the Maharaja of Kota because of the abundance of astonishing wildlife creatures. The name Darrah means ‘pass’ in the local language implying towards the purpose this region served during that time. The Rajputs, the Marathas and the British exploited the privileged position of these forest grounds to seek asylum during wars. In 1955, the Government of India declared this region as a protected area and the Darrah National Park came into existence in 2004.
