Kumbhalgarh is 90 kms. away from Jodhpur on the Udaipur Jodhpur road. This jungle adjoins the historical Kumbalgarh Fort and used to shield the fort from invaders. Situated in the lush green region of Udaipur, Kumbalgarh is the only sanctuary of Rajasthan, where activities of the rarely found wolf can be seen. During summer, when water becomes scarce, pack of wolves roaming around waterholes is a common sight.

The Desert National Park is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the Thar desert and its diverse fauna. Sand dunes form around 20% of the Park. The major landform consists of craggy rocks and compact salt lake bottoms, inter medial areas and fixed dunes which are quite suitable for the chinkara to move at high speed. The black buck is another common antelope of this region. Its other notable inhabitants are the desert fox, Bengal fox, wolf and desert cat.
