Wildlife SOS Agra Bear Rescue Facility is home to nearly 200 sloth bears that were rescued from the brutal practice of bear dancing. The kalandar gypsies that depended on exploiting these bears were established in alternative livelihoods by Wildlife SOS to ensure the safety of the bears and a legal way of life for the community. This center is run entirely from Donations raised by Wildlife SOS. The Forest Department charges an Admission of Rs 500 for Foreign Nationals and Rs 50 for Indians. These fees do not go to support the bear rescue center. Wildlife SOS offers conservation educational visit combined with interaction with bear experts. A donation is requested from visitors to help care for the animals. Receipt is issued for donations. Wildlife SOS also runs India's only Elephant Hospital at the Elephant Conservation & Care Center, home to over 20 rescued elephants ; a 15 min drive from the bear sanctuary. Contact Wildlife SOS for more details.
Julia and I visited the elephants and we learnt so much about the terrible cruelty of the wonderful animals. Up close with the rescued elephants you could feel the love and care being taken to give them happy lives, a million miles away from the circuses,wedding accessories, and private toys of rich businessmen . We watched them being fed,washed medically cared for. Then we went to the sloth bear sanctuary which showed equally how wildlifeSOS are giving the lives back to these animals who have been used for human entertainment with such cruelty. Please visit both places and spread the word and support this charity that is not funded by the government.

The National Chambal Sanctuary is a riverine sanctuary along 425 km length of the Chambal River and ravines. Set up in 1979 for species reintroduction of the Gharial, other species include Gangetic River Dolphins, Marsh Crocodiles, 8 species of turtles, 330 species of birds including large nesting colonies of the Indian Skimmer. 1.5 hrs drive from Agra
My wife and I and four friends were on a three week wildlife safari and took a two hour river cruise. It was beautiful, serene and utterly delightful. We saw Ganges River Dolphins, Gharials, and many rare bird species including Indian River Skimmers. The pristine and sparkling waters of the Chambal River were quite a feast for the senses. This is a great way to relax and enjoy nature.

I am astonished by seeing the beauty of this garden, visited after 20 long years ago, looked like garden of Kashmir by its architecture, restoration and preservation deserves appreciation. Even during summers cool winds are blowing due to nearness of river yamuna. Excellant place to visit
