20 Days in India - BHARATPUR and the Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary
It was a particular pleasure to visit Bharatpur and the Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary and to meet the ‘birdman of Bharatpur’- Ratan Singh. This former duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park.
