An area of 650 ha outside Jodhpur once used for hunting expeditions, is now being developed as a safari park. The Machia fortress and a recent memorial built to commemorate freedom fighters are attracti­ons, besides a vegetation cover that spans the entire area. Species found here include jackal, wolf, Indian fox, striped hyena, porcupine, bluebull, and hare. The resident birdlife is enhanced with the presence, in winter, of coots, egrets, grey partridge, bulbul, ring dove, and others.

Within the park, five nature trails have been demarcated that include the fort and a view of the wetlands of the park. Passes are available for those willing to trek along these routes, to commune with nature as it was meant to be.
