Keoladeo Ghana National Park – A Birdwatcher’s Paradise in Bharatpur
Just a short drive from Agra, Keoladeo Ghana National Park (also known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary) is one of India’s premier destinations for birdwatching. Once a royal duck-hunting reserve created by the Maharaja of Bharatpur, the park has transformed into a UNESCO-listed sanctuary teeming with wildlife.
Spread over wetlands and woodlands, the park is renowned for sightings of sarus cranes, black-headed ibis, and, on rare occasions, the Siberian crane. Exploring the sanctuary by cycle rickshaw offers a peaceful and intimate way to observe the vibrant birdlife, making Bharatpur a welcome retreat from the urban bustle.
