Keoladeo National Park
UNESCO-listed bird sanctuary with hundreds of resident and migratory species; ideal for guided birding tours and photography.
About Bharatpur (Keoladeo National Park)
Keoladeo National Park (commonly called Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary) was historically a royal hunting ground and today stands as one of Asia’s richest wetlands for birds. Each winter the park fills with migratory species — pelicans, cranes, storks and rare Siberian visitors — making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The carefully maintained wetlands, reed beds and shallow pools create ideal habitats and allow easy, close sightings by walking, cycling or guided rickshaw tours.
Beyond birds, Bharatpur also offers heritage attractions like Lohagarh Fort and Deeg Palace. The combination of calm wetland trails, abundant birdlife and nearby architectural gems makes Bharatpur an ideal wildlife-and-culture day trip from Udaipur.
