It is an amazing place! A complete jungle experience right in the vicinity of the city! Also a paradise for bird lovers and bird photography enthusiasts! Beautiful trails and lush greenery makes the visit a soothing one indeed. The entry fee is just 50 and there is no extra charge for still cameras. The place opens at 6AM in the morning and closes at 5PM in the evening. It was told to us that during winters, it opens half an hour early.

A must visit. You can spend hours here just by watching birds and listening to the chirps. Try to visit in spring or winter. The trails are beautiful all together

Great place for nature lovers and wildlife photographers. If you wanna appreciate birds, you need to be calm, patient and have binoculars. It's really surprising to see such a kind of forested area in the middle of a populated city. Great for a half day trip.

It was my first time in this Bird Sanctuary. Bird are rare to find but if you want to explore a small yet beautiful forest, you should come and visit this place! But they should have maintained the forest & preserve its beauty at its best!!! Lastly If you love nature and quite place with less human beings then with minimal entry price you can get unlimited pleasure time there. Have fun with your family/friends.

One of my favorite places to do birds photography, macro photography & landscape work. You will get different types of shots in different seasons. For bird photography summer is the best time

Many people go here expecting a well manicured park. It's not. It's a bird sanctuary, and hence the entire property is kept wild, just like in the natural world. I really liked how refreshing it was to take a walk inside, and getting the feeling of being inside a forest, far away from the city. Entry fees are Rs. 50/- per head, and free parking is available beside the main gate, though there isn't a lot of space. Its not a big property, but totally worth a visit if you're a nature lover!

November to March is the best time to visit the sanctuary. The probability of spotting an uncommon bird is less. When visiting try to stay for 2-3hours then the chances of spotting a bird will ne higher. I would recommend not to expect too much from this sanctuary.

The place is known to me for last 12 years. It is degrading very quickly and the gradual death of a ecosystem is tragic. While few species of birds are found here ( enticed by trees, shade and water to drink) these birds actually have nowhere to go. Their population is not increasing and more knowledgeable people may write to confirm or refute my observation. The natural trees, shrubs and climbers of Gangetic plain which should form the canopy is not present here as it was traditionally a mango grove. Today, many large trees have fallen, there is little afforestation to see ( again I speak from last 12 years of observation) but the guards on duty are good and prevent physical interference to a large degree. What this place now needs is a field biology unit who can examine the flora and establish a self-sustaining ecosystem. Otherwise, this place with its beautiful thickets of bamboo, carpets of fallen leaves and fleeting glimpses of the Asian paradise flycatcher ( yes I saw it here in 2009) will be no more - converted into another "man-made man-handled man-centred development".
