About Bharatpur
Bird Sanctuary
Bharatpur Wildlife Sanctuary is open throughout the year,
still the ideal visiting months are from August-November
for resident breeding birds and October- February for
migrant birds. There are well-defined forest trails, which
can easily be covered on foot or on a cycle or you can
also hire a rickshaw that are available on hire. An early
morning boat trip or a late evening one is quite a
rewarding experience to check out the hidden surprises of
Bharatpur.
There are varieties of storks and cranes and the local
sarus crane is elegant in a livery of grey and red. Every
year Bharatpur waits with coated breath for the arrival of
the Siberian cranes.
There are only two wintering places for this rare species
-one in Iran and the other Bharatpur and these beautiful
birds with their distinctive red beaks and facial patches,
fly over 6400 km from their summer retreats in Siberia, to
get to them. In 1996, there was great jubilation as a
couple of Siberian cranes with a young one made an
appearance in Bharatpur after a lapse of three years.
The forests around the lake at Bharatpur harbor the
sambar, chital, nilgai, jackal, hyena, fox, mongoose and
porcupine. Occasionally, a fishing cat can be seen
scooping its prey also commonly seen sunning themselves
along edge of the paths or at Python Point.
