About Sambhar Lake:
Sambhar Lake, India’s largest saline wetland, is located in the Nagaur and Jaipur districts of Rajasthan, bordered by the Aravalli hills. It is the source of most of Rajasthan's salt production.
It was designated a Ramsar site in 1990 due to its ecological significance.
It attracts thousands of migratory birds, including flamingos, from November to February. During the monsoon, the lake comes alive with birds like coots, black-winged stilts, sandpipers, and redshanks.
