Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary





This is my surprise today for Laurent and Sarah. We had a small problem to find the place since that I didn’t allowed both of them to look at the map and finally we reached there, to the Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary. It isn’t far from Delhi and it is nice to have a walk on Saturday or Sunday morning. We are happy to find this place which is not far from Delhi. I would recommend this Bird Sanctuary to all of friend who is living in Delhi to go and have a look. It is worth it.

About Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary.

Sultanpur Bird Sancturay is located in Gurgaon district of Haryana, about 50 km from Delhi and 15 km fom Gurgaon and the Gurgaon Farukh Nagar Road. This park is best visited in winters, when a large number of migratory birds come here. In the old map and district gazetteer of Gurgaon district, this area is shown as marshy land having a ‘salt pan’ where water accumulates during rains and dries our during summer. A number of organisms like crustaceans, fish and insects thrive during floods which attract a number of birds to this area. Its sanctuary potential was first identified by an enthusiastic bird watcher, Mr. Peter Jackson. He convinced Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, of the need for giving protection to this area keeping in view it’s importance and potential, the area covering 359 acres was declared a bird sanctuary in 1971 and was upgraded to the status of National Park in 1991 by Haryana Government.
