KEOLADEO GHANA NATIONAL PARK, BHARATPUR 

Just outside Bharatpur lies this small, but amazingly rich bird sanctuary considered to be one of the world's outstanding heronries. Perhaps no other bird sanctuary in the world offers so many different species within so small a compass, creating a uniquely rewarding bird watching experience. The park originally called Ghana meaning "dense" takes its name from the ancient temple of Keoladeo, or Lord Shiva that you will find inside it. The new ecosystem that emerged became an ideal habitat for birds of all kinds. The raised paths camouflaged by babul trees make their viewing easier.
