The area of Porbitora is actually a swampy marshland and this is the reason why it provides suitable habitat to the wild boars, rhinos and the wild buffaloes. The sanctuary of Porbitora is surrounded by different villages and farmlands.
It is a very unique place in terms of geographic location and features. Due to its swampy nature, this region is not suitable for the purpose of farming. The land was earlier used by the farmers for the grazing purposes. Now, this area is famous as homeland to the rhinos.
The varieties in the resources of bird life are another attraction of this wildlife sanctuary. Porbitora is home to several birds of different species and this is why it is also popularly known as the Eastern Bharatpur.
