It encompasses a forested area of over 195 km2 east of the Singhbhum and Saraikela-kharsawan districts of Jharkhand, extending from Chandil about 40 km eastward, running nearly parallel to the National Highway-33 at an altitude of about 280 m. The forests of the sanctuary are "dry peninsular sal" and "northern dry mixed deciduous forest".
