Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary Tourism

The Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, also known as the Wild Ass Wildlife Sanctuary, is located in the Little Rann of Kutch in the Gujarat state of India. Spanning across nearly 4954 sq km, it is one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in India. The sanctuary is a unique landscape made up of salt flats, rocky and thorny scrubland, and lakes and marshes. It is home to the endangered Indian Wild Ass (Khur), which is among the last three surviving species of the Wild Ass in the world. Along with the wild ass, the sanctuary supports a variety of wildlife, including the Indian wolf, desert fox, jackals, chinkara, blackbucks, and numerous bird species, especially during the migratory season. The sanctuary is also an important ecological land which plays a pivotal role in the groundwater conservation of the Rann of Kutch region.
