Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary
Located on the southern ridge of Delhi near the Delhi-Haryana border, this sanctuary is one of the capital’s most important green lungs. Spread across forested terrain and rocky landscapes, it is home to nilgai, jackals, monitor lizards, and over 200 bird species. Nature trails and butterfly parks make it ideal for eco-tourism and educational visits. During winter, the sanctuary becomes especially lively with migratory birds.
