Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary

Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary is a very popular national park located in Gurgaon district in Haryana State. Sultanpur is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Dhaula Kuan in Delhi and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Gurgaon on the Gurgaon – Farrukhnagar Road. This Bird Sanctuary, ideal for birding and bird watchers, is best visited in winters when a large number of migratory birds come here. Haryana government has carried out a number of development works at Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary like construction of mounds, widening of paths, and digging four tube wells. Efforts are being made to improve vegetation in the area by planting more trees, which are popular with the birds like ficus spp. Acacia Nilotica, Acacia Tortilis, Beris and Neem etc.
To facilitate bird watching, there are four watch towers (machans) located at different points. In addition, there is adequate parking and facilities like toilets and drinking water. The Educational Interpretation Center has been established here to offer proper guidance to the tourist visiting the place. The Tourist Complex built in the Park has elegant rooms equipped with all modern amenities, a restaurant and a bar. Sultanpur National Park is essentially a bird watcher's paradise with few trees obscuring the visitor's view of the lake. The birds here can be easily spotted wading, swimming or flying. Every year 90 migratory bird species arrive here in search of feeding grounds and to spend the winter. In winter, the sanctuary provides a picturesque panorama of migratory birds and even in summer, some species of migratory birds come here.
