History
Initially a hunting reserve of the Maharaja of Patiala, Chail Wildlife Sanctuary was notified as a protected area in 1962. The Maharaja, exiled to Chail after a tiff with Lord Kitchener, developed the region as his summer retreat. The sanctuary's history is intertwined with the royal past, with remnants of old hunting lodges and rest houses scattered throughout the area. Over the years, conservation efforts have focused on protecting the region's biodiversity and providing a safe haven for its wildlife. The sanctuary has played a crucial role in preserving the natural heritage of Chail and promoting eco-tourism in the region. Today, it stands as a testament to the importance of wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism practices.
