Spotting birds at the optimal time of 5:30am til 9am is well worth an early rise. The wetlands are home to hundreds of water and shore bird species, some of them native to the area and others migratory. Watch out for such treasures as the rare sarus crane, the purple swamphen, Asian golden weaver and the Greater Spotted Eagle. Enjoy a local lunch before embarking on a boat cruise around the wetlands, enjoying the beautiful and diverse flora including aquatic grass and lovely water lilies. Your guide will keep you informed about the various conservation programmes in place for the wetlands and the wildlife inhabiting them.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
