Keoladeo Ghana National Park near Bharatpur is one of the world's great birdwatching destinations, a former royal duck-hunting reserve turned UNESCO World Heritage wetland where painted storks, herons and migratory species from as far as Siberia gather in their thousands. Wandering its shaded paths by bicycle or cycle-rickshaw, with the sound of birdcalls echoing across the marshes, is a world away from Rajasthan's forts and palaces just down the road.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Keoladeo?
October to March is best, when winter migratory birds from Central Asia and Siberia swell the park's resident population dramatically.
How do I get to Keoladeo National Park?
Bharatpur is well connected by train and road to Agra (about 1.5 hours) and Jaipur (around 3 hours), making it an easy add-on to the Golden Triangle circuit.
How do you explore the park?
Cycle-rickshaws and bicycles are the main way to move along the park's flat paths quietly, and a local guide can help spot and identify species.
Is the park good value?
Entry fees and rickshaw hire are modest, and Bharatpur's guesthouses are inexpensive compared to nearby Agra, making it a budget-friendly stop.
What language is spoken locally?
Hindi is the main language, though guides at the park typically speak good English given the steady flow of international birdwatchers.
Traveler reviews
★★★★★
An incredible morning spent cycling through the park with storks and herons everywhere you looked. A brilliant, calm contrast to busy Agra the day before.

★★★★★
Our guide spotted owls, pythons and dozens of bird species we'd never have noticed alone. Highly recommend hiring one at the gate.
Robert N. · December 2023
★★★★☆
A lovely half-day stop on the way from Agra to Jaipur. Bring binoculars if you have them — the park is huge and birds are often distant.
