Bharatpur bird sanctuary is also known as Keoladeo National Park of India. The 29square kilometer reserve is locally known as Ghana, and is a mosaic of dry grasslands, woodlands, woodland swamps, and wetlands. These diverse habitats are home to 366 bird species, 379 floral species, 50 species of fish, 13 species of snakes, 5 species of lizards, 7 amphibian species,7 turtle species, and a variety of other invertebrates. Every year thousands of migratory waterfowl visit the park for wintering breeding etc. The Sanctuary is one of the richest bird areas in the world. It is known for nesting of its resident birds and visiting migratory birds including water birds. The rare Siberian cranes used to winter in this park but this central population of Siberian Cranes is now extinct. According to Sir Peter Scott Keoladeo Sanctuary is the world’s best bird area.Recently i had been to that place from Delhi.This place is in Rajstan state of India.You have to take a man driven rickshaw or go walking as cars or motorized vehicles are not allowed.For the first time i saw Sardar rickshaw pullers in that place.They charge a big amount of rupees one hundred.You need binoculars to watch birds as they are not that close to the road where one walks along.If you are a bird watcher its the place other wise going all the way is not worth it.Here are some photographs taken through by my Olympus camera.
