India has a rich heritage of historic sites, cultural monuments and natural resources which make India a preferred destination for tourist. Mukandra Hills Tiger Reserve, notified as third Tiger Reserve of Rajasthan in 2013, is endowed with rich biodiversity. It is located in the south-eastern Rajasthan, India and has profound scope to be developed as sustainable nature tourism site. The sustainable nature tourism is an emerging concept that includes research and designing of conservation strategies for the biota along with natural sites and cultural heritages. By creating the employment opportunities and enhanced services-access for the local communities dwelled near such sites, it can contribute significantly to their livelihood. The deliberated planning efforts and successful execution will improve awareness which, in turn will attract sustainable ways for infrastructure creation culminating into better socio-economic order. Thus, it is dire need to devise meticulous policies for sustainable nature tourism in Mukandra Hills Tiger Reserve.
