Jamwa Ramgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is located on the area surrounding the famous Ramgarh Artificial Lake. The 300 Square kms region was declared as wildlife sanctuary in 1982 and though the lake now remains dried up for major part of year, it gets flooded during monsoon, making it a scenic tourist spot.
