Chandraprabha Dam

Great view to enjoy with your family or friends.

The Chandra Prabha Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as Chandraprabha, is situated in Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh state in central India. It is well endowed with beautiful picnic spots, dense forests, and scenic waterfalls like Rajdari, Devdari & Naugarh waterfall that attract tourists every year to its vicinity. Chandra Prabha Wildlife Sanctuary is situated about 70 kilometres from the historic city of Varanasi
The area was made a hunting preserve for the rulers of Benares in the second half of the 18th century.
The wildlife sanctuary was established in May 1957. Asiatic lions were introduced at Chandra Prabha in 1958. The exercise was successful in the beginning, with the number of lions increasing from three to eleven by 1969. However, the following year the lions were found missing. The plan was again revived in 1993 although the Indian Government is yet to take a decision in this regard.

The sanctuary has an area of 78 square kilometres.[3] The sanctuary lies within the Lower Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests ecoregion.

Plant communities include alluvial savanna forest, southern dry mixed deciduous forest, dry deciduous scrub and savanna, dry tropical riverine forest, and desert thorn forest and scrub.

Fauna includes leopard, wild boar, Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus), Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor), Chinkara (Gazella gazella), and Chital (Axis axis), and many species of birds
