Right Time to Visit Bharatpur

Finally we were there at the right time at the right place amidst the beautiful birds resting in there natural habitat, as if they are on some vacation. So the best time to visit Bharatpur and Sultanpur Bird Sancturies is from October to March and the best way to explore the sanctury is on a bicycle which can be hired for 25 Rupees for the whole day. Other option could be a rickshaw ride, if you just want to enjoy the bird views without tiring your muscles.

The sanctury, now has been renamed as the Keoladeo National Park (named after the Keoladeo temple of Shiva within its boundaries) and is home to many endanged species like siberian cranes during the winter season. You can see clusters of huge birds with long beaks and colourful tails covering the whole tree tops. Bharatpur is approximately 180 Km from Delhi, which is about 4 hours drive and makes a good weekend get away from the city life. You can also visit Mathura (Birth place of Bagwan Krishan) and Vrindavan on the way or take a detour to Agra to visit Taj Mahal which is 55 Km and Fathepur Sikri which is 22 Km from the sanctuary.
