Flora

The arid landscape of Desert National Park is dominated by thorny shrubs, hardy grasses, and scattered desert trees. Native plant species such as Khejri (Prosopis cineraria), Rohida (Tecomella undulata), and Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana) provide food and shelter for desert wildlife. Seasonal flowering plants emerge after monsoon rains, adding bursts of color to the otherwise golden-brown terrain.

Fauna

Apart from the iconic Great Indian Bustard, the park is home to a variety of desert-adapted species. Visitors can spot chinkara (Indian gazelle), desert foxes, Indian wolves, and monitor lizards. The park is a paradise for birdwatchers, with species like laggar falcons, vultures, kestrels, and eagles soaring over the dunes. The area is also famous for spiny-tailed lizards, which can often be seen basking in the sun.
