Keoladeo National Park, also known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is a protected area and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, India. The park is home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including more than 370 species of birds, as well as deer, wild boar, and other wildlife.
The park was originally a hunting ground for the Maharajas of Bharatpur, but was converted into a bird sanctuary in 1956. In 1982, it was declared a national park, and in 1985, it was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The park is particularly well-known for its birdlife, and is considered to be one of the best birdwatching sites in the world. Some of the notable bird species that can be found in the park include the Siberian crane, the greater spotted eagle, the black-necked stork, and the Indian grey hornbill.
Visitors to the park can explore its various trails and pathways on foot, by bicycle, or on a rickshaw ride. Boat rides are also available for visitors to explore the park's wetlands and waterways. The park is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the winter months, when many migratory bird species visit the park.
