Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary,
Bharatpur
The beauty of Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is extremely
captivating and the brilliant sight of rare
birds amidst such paramount greenery, makes
this place seem unnatural. This is one of those
lucky sanctuaries that has pretty much everything
to offer; culture, history, excellent wildlife
& of course an amazing array of exotic birds.
Two-thirds of the Park lies under water and
the remaining one-third is covered in dry deciduous
forests and extensive grasslands.
Part of this topography is shared by the
Bharatpur wetlands as a result of the Jamuna
that passes close by, and the other part by
the Chambal which, as a tributary of the Jamuna,
originates in the Vindhyas in Madhya Pradesh
and skirts through its ravines to form Rajasthan's
eastern boundary with that state. This may occasionally
result in marshy eco-systems ideal for sustaining
a variety of birdlife in these aquatic habitats.
Base: Bharatpur: Tough one of the country's
most well-managed, and well-represented parks
as far as the variety of wildlife and birdlife
is concerned, it is astonishingly easily accessible,
located close to the township of Bharatpur,
and barely an hour's drive from Agra, and only
a little more from Jaipur. Delhi too is reasonably
close.
