Adventure Tourism : Birds Watching
Rajasthan's
lakes, ponds, marshlands and grasslands are a haven for bird lovers. One
can find around 550 species of birds and most of these are residents.
The
best colony of birds in the world is Keoladeo National Park situated In
Bharatpur. It has more than 400 species of birds and more than 130 of them
breed inside the park. Being a unique bird place, the UNESCO has
recognised it as a world heritage site.
It is truly a paradise of
feathered life which provides unlimited opportunities to bird watchers.
Various other lakes and ponds spread over the state offer the enthusiast
an opportunity to watch the activities of the birds.
The major
wetlands other than Bharatpur are Kukas, Kalah, Bund, Buchora Chandii,
Chhaparwara and Ramgarh in Jaipur, Siliserh
Jaisamand
and Mansarover in Alwar, Ana Sagar and Fatehsagar in Ajmer, Jaisamand,
Pichhola and Badi Ka Talab in Udaipur, Balsamand and Sardar Samand in
Jodhpur, Bassi Dam in Chittaurgarh and Meja Dam in Bhilwara.
The
best season for bird watching starts with the onset of winter when
marshlands and lakes are inhabited by migratory birds as well as resident
birds. In salt- water lakes, flamingos are also found, like in Pachpadra
near Barmer and Sambhar near Jaipur. Bird watching g is a hobby which has
minimum requirements. All you need is a binocular.
