Tour Overview

Bharatpur Extension Tour

Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, also known as Keoladeo National Park, sits around 180 kilometres south of Delhi. This 3-day extension gives you two full birding sessions and one morning session across the wetlands, grasslands, and woodland edges of one of Asia’s most important bird reserves.

The park holds over 370 species of birds. Resident species include Sarus Crane, Painted Stork, and various egrets and herons. In winter, migratory ducks, eagles, and waders arrive in large numbers from Central Asia and Siberia.

Bharatpur is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its flat terrain and open water bodies make it ideal for close observation and photography. Rickshaws and cycles are the main way to move through the park, keeping things quiet and unhurried.
