Keoladeo Ghana National Bird Sanctuary is located at Bharatpur, Rajasthan in India. This is one of the best birding sites in the world. It is the home to 366 bird species, 13 species of snakes, 5 species of lizards, 7 turtle species, and a variety of other invertebrates. This is one of the richest bird areas in the world.The park was a hunting ground for the maharajas of Bharatpur, a tradition dating back to 1850. In 1985, it was declared a World Heritage Site. The park is a fresh water swamp and is flooded during the monsoon. For most part of the year, effective wetland is only 10 square kilometers. The rest of the area remains dry.
During our visit we sighted many more species than has been portrayed in this video. We were not able to take videos of many species due to adverse conditions.
