Geography & terrain

Tal Chhapar lies in the Churu district of Rajasthan, 210 km from Jaipur and 90 km from Churu — the blackbuck sanctuary of the region, its 7-sq-km plains, the antelopes and the harriers set on the Shekhawati flats.

History & culture

The sanctuary's story runs with the 1966 notification era — the blackbuck sanctuary of the 7-sq-km plains and the 1966-era notification of the Rajasthan forest life, with the sanctuary's modern role as the wildlife stop of the Shekhawati circuit and the home of the blackbuck and the harriers and the 2000s-era drives; the sanctuary's history of the 1980s-era poaching curbs and the grassland life, gives Tal Chhapar its blackbuck character.
