Bharatpur

About

Discover Bharatpur

Known as the "Eastern Gateway of Rajasthan," Bharatpur is home to Keoladeo Ghana National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's finest bird sanctuaries. Originally built as a duck-hunting preserve by the Maharajas of Bharatpur, the park now shelters over 370 resident and migratory bird species across 29 square kilometres of wetland, forest and grassland. Winter months bring Siberian cranes, bar-headed geese, painted storks and thousands of ducks; the early morning light across the reeds and flooded grassland is exceptional for photography. Bharatpur is also the closest birdwatching base to both Agra and Jaipur, making it an ideal mid-route pause.
