A Bharatpur tour is the best way to discover the wide variety of bird life in India. Spot rare species while riding a rickshaw armed with your camera - ready to shoot.
An erstwhile royal reserve Bharatpur came into existence when the local ruler dug a massive lake in 1890 when he realized that a large number of migratory bird species visit this part of the country. Several artificial bunds were created that led to the formation of marshes - the perfect habitat for exotic water birds.
When in the year 1965 the Government of India declared a ban on shooting wildlife; Bharatpur practically became a mini bird sanctuary. This exotic enclosure was accorded the status of a National Park with the efforts of Dr. Salim Ali, a celebrated ornithologist and author.
Renamed as the Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur has now gained fame as a grand bird haven in North India. See avifauna such as Siberian cranes, water fowl, kingfishers, storks, jungle fowl et al.
Winters are the best time to enjoy Bharatpur tours as that is when some of the most exotic birds fly down from regions as far as Central Asia and Siberia.
Bharatpur was declared as a World Heritage Site in the year 1985. Bharatpur boasts of being a haven to more than 380 species of birds.
