Located about 80 km away from Agra {yes, you can use the expressway for things other than visiting the Taj}, the Chambal National Sanctuary is on about 400 km of the Chambal river and has some great nature-watching options. In close proximity are the Bah & Bateshwar temples, which hold immense religious importance for Hindus. We recommend staying at the Chambal Safari Lodge, with its beautiful whitewashed cottages {some dating back to the 1890’s}.
