Chambal Garden is one of the most famous tourist destinations in India. It is located in the south-eastern part of the state. It is situated on the banks of the Chambal River in the town of Kota, which was once part of the Rajput kingdom. The sound of water gushing in from the Chambal River attracts visitors to the garden which also has a sizeable presence of crocodiles and ghariyals, a type of crocodile that’s native to the Indian sub-continent.

History

Kota, the town where the Chambal Garden is located, lies on the bank of the Chambal River and is surrounded by many places and temples that have rich history and culture associated with them. Kota is located on a sloping table land and is part of the Malwa Plateau. The Chambal Garden is located on land that was once part of the erstwhile Rajput kingdom of Bundi.

Crocodiles

There are many species of crocodile and gharials in the pond inside the Chambal Garden. They laze away in the cool climes inside the pond, blissfully unaware of the attraction value they create among the thousands of tourists visiting here.
