It is about 100 km from the capital city [[Ranchi]], and 15 km from the steel city Jamshedpur. The wildlife sanctuary runs parallel to the NH-33 with hills as high as 915 m from sea level. Dalma Sanctuary is spread over 193 km2 of forests of East [[Singhbhum]] and Saraikela-kharsawan districts of the state of Jharkhand. The forests of Dalma come under the category "Dry peninsular Sal" and "Northern Dry Mixed [[Deciduous Forest]]". Most part of Dalma forests shed leaves in the [[summer]] and attains its full bloom at the onset of [[monsoon]].

== Flora ==

The wildlife sanctuary has [[elephants]], [[barking deer]], [[sloth bear]] and [[porcupines]] as the main inhabitants. Famous for holding many elephants and other animals, which come downhill during the [[monsoons]] and winter and enter nearby villages and towns of Jharkhand and [[West Bengal]]. This occasionally leads to conflicts between man and elephants.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maji |first=Bivu |date=2022-04-25 |title=Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, Jamshedpur |url=https://welcometojamshedpur.in/dalma-wildlife-sanctuary/ |access-date=2022-05-19 |website=Welcome to Jamshedpur |language=en}}</ref>

Dalma is known as paradise for elephant. The flagship species elephant count goes to 100 in number in the peak of summer where the waterholes deep inside the sanctuary quench their thirst. Recently brought four elephants are also one of the attraction points for the tourists. In past there used to be good number of deers in the sanctuary. With the decline in number of deers an enclosure was established with an object to breed in captivity and then release the excess deers into wild to regain the past glory. The deer enclosures at Makulakocha have [[spotted deer]]s and [[Sambar deer|sambhars]]. The enclosure is located in such a site that the spotted deers and sambars sustain with the feelingof natural habitat.

Beside elephants there are Indian [[giant squirrel]], [[sloth bear]], [[barking deer]], [[wild boar]], [[porcupine]], [[mouse deer]], [[pangolin]] and [[mongooses]] in the sanctuary. Commonly seen birds in the sanctuary are the [[falcons]], [[golden oriole]], [[Treepie|Indian tree pie]], [[Paradise flycatcher|paradise fly catchers]], [[Indian grey hornbill|grey hornbills]], [[Indian peafowl]], different varieties of [[Kingfisher|king fishers]], [[herons]], [[egrets]], [[mynas]], [[pigeons]], [[Lesser racket-tailed drongo|racket tailed drongo]], [[Magpie-robin|magpie robins]] etc.

As per the 2019 census report,<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-06-03|title=Effective habitat management in Dalma wildlife sanctuary results in rising elephant numbers|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/ranchi/effective-habitat-management-in-dalma-wildlife-sanctuary-results-in-rising-elephant-numbers/story-LX6UXSHwKqllJf7eOCgmiK.html|url-status=live|website=Hindustan Times|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604005405/https://www.hindustantimes.com/ranchi/effective-habitat-management-in-dalma-wildlife-sanctuary-results-in-rising-elephant-numbers/story-LX6UXSHwKqllJf7eOCgmiK.html |archive-date=4 June 2019 }}</ref> The waterhole census carried out in Dalma on May 21 and 22 at 43 waterholes spotted 66 elephants, a clear sign that elephants have once again started considering Dalma as a safe and conducive habitat.
