To this day the Darrah Wild Life Sanctuary is home to leopards, sloth bears, antelopes, nilgai, deers and wolves. Antelopes and wolves are seen in particularly large numbers and if you are lucky enough you can also spot the few leopards and sloth bears that inhabit the sanctuary. It is really a delight to be seeing these wild animals in their natural habitat.

There are many hunting lodges in the Darrah Wild Life Sanctuary. By virtue of being the base of the former maharajas many lodges were built here for them to put up in. These are themselves worth seeing and moreover from here one can also get a very good sight of the animals ambling about in their natural surroundings.

For wildlife lovers this is the best place to head to when thinking of Excursions from Kota. There is a rest house that is run by the Forest Department much to the convenience of the tourists who come here. It provides all the necessary amenities and one can easily opt for a stay.
