Bharatpur Tours

Located on the Jaipur-Agra highway, Bharatpur is famous for the Keoladeo Ghana National Park that has one of the largest heronries in the world. Bharatpur is a favorable tour destination as it lies in close proximity to cities like Delhi, Deeg, Jaipur and Agra.

The national park developed around a lake that was the result of the construction of the Ajan Dam. The depression that formed after intensive digging to build the earthen dam, got filled with rainwater over the years and developed into a lake.

In the later years the Keoladeo Lake was further dug and separated into dykes and dams. Several sluice gates were installed for controlling water levels. Eventually Bharatpur developed into one of the finest duck shooting reserves in Asia. Large marsh areas and lakes offer perfect breeding and nesting grounds for exotic waterfowl and rare birds.

A unique feature of the Keoladeo Ghana National Park is that Siberian cranes migrate to this picturesque lake world every winter. The jungles that proliferated around the banks of Keoladeo National Park have become a natural habitat for animals like deer, boars, striped hyena, jungle cat, fishing cat, sambhar, black boar et al.

Bharatpur was given the status of a world heritage site in the year 1985 and the region became a national park in the year 1982. As far as the avian population is concerned, Bharatpur offers you a unique opportunity to observe rare species such as egrets, wheaters, warblers, shanks, ibises, wagtails, buntings, pitpits, pelicans, geese, ducks, stints and flycatchers.

While on a Bharatpur tour you can enjoy cycle rickshaw rides, nature walks or peddle your way around on a bicycle. A winter expedition to Bharatpur offers you a unique opportunity to observe Siberian cranes that generally feed on small fish and other marine creatures back home but stick to a vegetarian diet while on an India visit. Siberian cranes are known to feed on a special kind of aquatic root that grows wild in the Bharatpur lake.
