Ratanmahal Sloth Bear Sanctuary 
[
Gujarat ] Spread out over 56 sq km, Ratanmahal-on the Gujarat-Madhya Pradesh border-is
the only exclusive slothbear sanctuary in Gujarat. And sloth bears are just part
of the attraction: nature fulfills herself in many other ways. The River Panam
criss-crosses beautiful small hamlets on the foothills of this sanctuary; lush
green and thick woods full of natural goodness. Kanjeta nestles at 230 metres
above main sea level, offering a variety in terms of flora and fauna. Sloth bears
(57 as per the latest census), panthers (9), large-size monkeys (900), langoors
(800), jackals (100), antelopes (four) and hyenas (8), besides others numerous
jungle cats, foxes, honey badgers, hare, porcupines and reptiles. To believe the
beauty of flora and birds (120 species) you got to visit this place. And if you
want to be on the hilltop-about 8 km from Kanjeta-you can do that as well, with
the permission of the authorities.
