Bharatpur National Park |
Bharatpur National
Park, is identified as the pleasant niche of the migratory birds and
not surprisingly the home of the world's most diligent bird
watchers. Therefore, this is one of the most important breeding &
feeding grounds for migratory birds in the world. Visitor birds
swell the population of the park by one third traveling from as far
as Europe & Siberia. These include the rare Siberian Crane traveling
half the globe to reach Bharatpur
Bharatpur National Park covers an area of 40sq. km. & is
refreshingly free from any motor vehicles. Walking & cycling along
the raised embankments offer an opportunity to get close to the rich
bird life. A cycle rickshaw is another way of exploring the
sanctuary |
