This Santuary offers protection to birds and faunal
species as well. Bharatpur Sanctuary was actually
created by a maharaja. The name of this national
park is after the name of god Keoladeo, Lord Shiva.
This park is nesting native water- birds as well
as migratory water birds and riverside birds. In
this small wildlife park more than 300 species of
birds are found. Migratory birds that come from
as far away as Siberia and Central Asia to spend
their winters in Bharatpur, are the major attractions
to the tourists visiting the park.
Although,
Bharatpur Wildlife Sanctuary is open throughout
the year but still time period between August-November
is the best for visiting. There are particular forest
tracks, which can comfortably be covered on foot
or on a cycle. Rickshaws are also available on hire.
Bird watching depends greatly on the right season,
timing, and above all patience, so its better to
visit the sanctuary during the visiting time duration
only.
