Akal Wood Fossil Park - Wildlife and safari park in Akal - Jaisalmer, India

Only people who have interest in Wood Fossils may like it ... Other than this it may feel like safari with few Neel gay and sambar deer... My advice is to go in bike or car... A cute Indian gazelle and Emu is attraction near the gate where you can take selfie with it

"This place is unreal to be believed true." The area holds remains of prehistoric times and tells much more than the origin and history of its present to past geography and geology. Other than the scenic beauty of the place and the many unladen tracks to be explored it holds quite a good food for thought for people who are interested in the places history of origin. The remains of nearly 100 feet trees shows us that this place with its surrounding areas was once a dense rainforest. Also the presence of dead volcanoes are quite eminent looking at the soil and rocks. It's good for every age group people to visit and just immerse themselves in the beauty of the place. Must visit!

Amazing to see and feel something which existed 18 crores year back even before dinosaurs; must visit for kids; fossils are well preserved and displayed. Pet Deer and Emu add to the pleasure; good place to explore.

This place is so different from others that it automatically becomes the one place you must visit. This place has wood fossils which got buried in the earth millions of years ago and now have aged to be the one of the most precious things available on earth. The place has an entry ticket of just 5Rs. This place might not be of interest for everyone so please read about it before visiting.

This place is must visit if you want to see and learn a few things about Fossils and Geography of the area. You can take walk of around 3 KM with multiple Fossil sites scattered around or drive to the sides after entering the compound. Please ask the caretaker as there are no information boards. Caretaker is very nice and helpful and he will explain the importance of the Fossil Park. You can take pictures with domesticated Emus and Deers. Please donate some money to the caretaker to feed Emus as he is taking care of them by his own money after government stopped giving funds. He told me about it when i asked me about the food for animals there. He did not even asked me ones if I want to donate or something. I regret forgetting to donate some to him.

This place is around 18kms from the city and do pay a visit if you want to get away from the hustle bustle and spend some me time in kind of wild. You have various fossil rock which are formed out trees. Those are around some 180 million years ago. I was fortunate enough to view a deer and an Emu. I took an auto from Jaisalmer, he said 400 and late while getting down he said it was 700 and looted the money. Everywhere in Jaisalmer they loot the money.

One of the best adventures things you can do in JSM. Enter in it ; feel the origin of JSM with scientific curiosity and left with bundles of knowledge. Play with emu birds & local deer. The tree Fossil are scattered over the hills and need to search thoroughly with patience and you may find another one in this treasure hunt expedition.

Good place with lots of wood fossils (old trees that have petrified) Even spotted some Emus, Deers and "Neelgaay" Ultra cheap tickets and very informative, should check it out. Lots of windmills on the way also make for a picturesque view. Could be better maintained.
