Kotmi Sonar Park

The only Crocodile Conservation Centre of Chhattisgarh at Kotmisonar village, 7 kms away from Akaltara Tehsil of the Janjgir-Champa district, will soon be developed as a major tourist attraction.

A lake has been constructed on 85-acre land of the Crocodile Conservation Centre, which has total of 200-acre land. A total of 200 crocodiles have been kept in this lake in a favourable natural atmosphere including 165 crocodiles which have been trans-located from other places. Remaining ones have already been in the lake.

Kotmisonar is situated on the Mumbai-Howrah Rail route, where local trains halt. The Crocodile Conservation Centre is hardly half km away from the railway station. It is 35 km away from Bilaspur on bus route and 21 km on rail route. Because of favourable atmosphere, crocodiles were already there in the Mudha lake of the village. Apprehending loss of life of people and cattle, the area has been selected for the Crocodile Conservation Centre.

Chief Minister Raman Singh had inaugurated the Centre on May 6, 2006. According to the intention of the Chief Minister, the Centre is being developed as a tourist place. A knowledge park will also be developed near the centre. The place will be significant for students for study tour.

Best place to see crocodile in natural place... Best time to visit in winter.। In winter's afternoon you can easily spot them... It is not recommended to go to summer afternoon.. You will not be able to spot a single crocodile
