Situated
at the confluence of the rivers
Gambhir and Banganga in the
Bharatpur district of Rajasthan,
Keoladeo National Park is
a World Heritage site and one
of the most popular bird-watching
sites of Asia. The Park-colloquially
known as Ghana is an absolutely
fascinating tapestry of wetlands,
woodlands, woodland swamps and
dry grass lands, making it a
natural habitation of rich biological
diversity. Originally a natural
depression (believed to be part
of a riverbed- probably the
river Yamuna), the region that
is now known as Keoladeo
National Park was prone
to seasonal flooding. This caused
it over a period of time,to
develop into a lush, thriving
system of fresh-water marshes
that attracted a large and diverse
population of migratory birds.
The unchallenged highlight
of the Park is that it is the
only known wintering region
for the highly endangered central
population of Siberian Cranes.
By virtue of the sheer diversity
and richness of its natural
geographical features, this
quaint and diminutive National
Park- all home and sanctuary
to an astounding variety of
life forms, including 366 avian
species, 379 species of flora,
|
|
50
species of fish, and a host
of snakes, lizards, turtles,
amphibians and invertebrates.
Keoladeo National Park is
a veritable paradise for
the serious bird-watcher,
offering outstanding opportunities
to site an amazing variety
of rare and common avian
species in their natural
habitats. The Park’s proximity
to Delhi and popular tourist
destinations such as Agra,
Mathura and Jaipur makes
it an irresistible stop
over for the general tourist
as well. Today, the Park
attracts more than a million
visitors each year, including
some 45,000 from abroad.
Keoladeo National Park gets
its name from Lord Shiva,
whose temple stands stoic
and serene
at the heart of the
Park. Shiva, is the form
of Pashupati- is the protector
and lord of the animal kingdom.
It is almost as though a
higher spirit emanates his
protection and blessings
over the wondrous oasis
of beauty and nature that
is the Keoladeo National
Park. Along with the sincere
conservation efforts that
are on in the region-and,
indeed, the world- this
haven of nature will continue
to thrive and be cherished
by visitors from across
the globe. For
the avid bird-watcher, Keoladeo
National Park needs
no introduction. It is a
place which has drawn them
with it’s unmatched sighting
opportunities and quaint
charm for years- and continues
to do so to date.
