Introduction - Phansad WLS:
This sanctuary is located in the Murud and Roha talukas of Raigad District in Maharashtra, spread across 52 sq. km. It was declared in 1986. This sanctuary is about 140 km south-west of Mumbai and 185 km west to Pune. The rulers of the Janjira province use to do hunting in this area and no one was allowed to enter the same, which is very being a reason to be thick forest canopy with various other habitats. This forest is moist deciduous with small patches of evergreen forest, grasslands and on the periphery paddy fields; also the coast of Arabian Sea. This wide-ranging habitat suggests good bio-diversity in the vicinity.
The forte of the Phansad WLS is good population of the Indian Giant Squirrel, Leopard, Wild Boar, varieties of Deer. The list continues with more than 90 species of butterflies, 215 species of birds, 30 species of snakes, 714 species of trees. Visit to Phansad will never be a reason for disappointment.
