Kotra (also spelt Kotda) is a tehsil of Udaipur district in Rajasthan, India,[2] consisting of 262 revenue villages and 31 panchayats.

[6][7] The Kotra Bhumat was administered by the chieftains of Jura, Oghna, and Panarva, who paid a small tribute to the Mewar Durbar and were liable to be called on for local service.

[8] Ground elevations in the tehsil range from 187 m (above Mean Sea Level) to 1,017 m. Elevations in the northern and eastern parts of the tehsil are generally higher, sloping down in a southwesterly direction towards the Sabarmati River and its tributaries.Major rivers in Kotra are Sei, Sabarmati, Pamri, Wakal, Divav and Kosambi.

[11][12] The Phulwari ki Nal Wildlife Sanctuary is partially situated in Kotra tehsil.

[13] Economic activities and livelihood opportunities in Kotra tehsil are limited; this has been attributed to small land holdings, poor quality of natural resources, lack of irrigation, and low literacy levels.

[15] A 2006 survey found that at least one member from nearly half of Kotra households (49.2%) leave the tehsil to seek employment.

There is limited bus service available from Udaipur to Kotra by Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC).

[18] For the same reason, Kotra tehsil has been designated as a scheduled area which allows special protection of tribal culture and other interests.
