Amazing place It has the potential of being of a great tourist destination Its just breathtaking I wasn't able to see a lot of birds from land but while boating i encountered thousands of them The Gurudwara sahib is clean and very beautiful There is an abundance of trees and wildlife But as with any other tourist destination this place was not excused from the trash thrown by fellow Indians
One visit is not enough to explore this beautiful place, So I've visited many times at Bird Sanctuary and nearby villages. November to February is the best time to visit there for Bird Watching. Nearby villages are also good spots for bird watching. River Otter are often seen there, but never seen dolphin there. Cormorants, Egrets, Herons and many species of ducks can seen there in every season. Migratory birds can be seen winters.
This is not the bird sanctuary.. It is incorrectly shown on Google map. It is basically in the middle of nowhere, there are lush green farms but not any bird sanctuary. For the bird sanctuary search ' Harike Bird sanctuary' on Google map.
One has to park the vehicle at check post and need to walk approximately 2 km .
Wide peaceful area with a large lake and 2 big rivers, I haven't see much birds and the level of water in lake is also goes down.
Harike Wetland also known as "Hari-ke-Pattan", with the Harike Lake in the deeper part of it, is the largest wetland in northern India in the border of Tarn Taran Sahib district and Ferozepur district of the Punjab state in India. The wetland and the lake were formed by constructing the headworks across the Sutlej river in 1953. The headworks is located downstream of the confluence of the Beas and Sutlej rivers just south of Harike village. The rich biodiversity of the wetland which plays a vital role in maintaining the precious hydrological balance in the catchment with its vast concentration of migratory fauna of waterfowls including a number of globally threatened species (stated to be next only to the Keoladeo National Park near Bharatpur) has been responsible for the recognition accorded to this wetland in 1990, by the Ramsar Convention, as one of the Ramasar sites in India, for conservation, development and preservation of the ecosystem. This man-made, riverine, lacustrine wetland spreads into the three districts of Tarn Taran Sahib, Ferozepur and Kapurthala in Punjab and covers an area of 4100 ha. Conservation of this wetland has been given due importance, since 1987–88, both by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India and the Punjab State Government (through its several agencies), and over the years several studies and management programmes have been implemented.
Its a peaceful place. Easily reachable on car or on bike. Tickets are very very reasonable though I am of the view that it should be increased and the money should be spent on making it a tourist spot on good level. I think the Best time to visit it in monsoons it will be a extraordinary experience. Birds were visible but not that much as they were far away but a great place to click and to get clicked.
