Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary
Once the hunting ground of Maharaja of Bharatpur, the 29 sq. km. Keoladeo was later converted into a bird sanctuary and now ranks amongst the most visited in India. Proximity to Golden triangle (Delhi-Jaipur-Agra) also helped it to popularize amongst the foreigners. Early morning and evening are the best for watching birdlife, exquisite birdsong, spectacular water birds etc. Dr. Salim Ali_s book on Birds of Bharatpur and binoculars are helpful in this place.

Hotel Accommodation: Laxmi Vilas Palace, Bharatpur Forest Lodge, The Birders Inn, Hotel Saras, Hotel Sunbird etc.
