Activities

Field, water & trail.

Every activity on the reserve — set on the Dharabi Dam near Kallar Kahar — is managed within the limits of its conservation plan: regulated seasons, defined water areas and marked trails, so the land can carry both wildlife and visitors.

01 — Field

Hunting

Seasonal hunting of black francolin, grey partridge and wild pheasant, plus recreational clay pigeon and skeet shooting.

Hunter walking through scrubland at DPWR

The reserve's dry subtropical semi-evergreen scrub — broad-leaved trees, shrubs and a basal grass cover — is the preferred habitat of black and grey francolins. DPWR ensures sustainable hunting of the wildlife species permitted to be harvested from the reserve, including black francolin, grey partridge and pheasant, alongside recreational clay pigeon and skeet shooting.
