Keoladeo National Park - Bird Watchers Paradise
Sithated
at the Confluence of the rivers Gambhir and Bnganga in the
Bharatpur District of Rajasthan, Koleodeo National Park is
the world Heritage Site and one of the most popular sites
of Asia.
The Park - Colloquially known as Ghana - is an Absolutely
fascinating tapestry of wetlands, woodlands, woodland
swamps and dry-grass-lands, making it a natural habitation
of rich biological diversity.
Original
a natural depression (Believed to be part of a riverbed -
Probably the river Yamuna), the region that is now known
as Keoladeo National Park was prone to seasonal flooding.
This caused it over a period of time to develop into a
lush thriving system of fresh-water marshes that attracted
a large and diverse population of migratory birds.
The
Unchallenged highlight of the park is that it is the only
known withering region for highly endangered central
population of siberian cranes.
By
Virtue of the sheer diversity and richness of its natural
geographical features, this quaint and dimunitive national
park - all of the 29 square kilometers in size 0 is home
and sanctuary to an astounding variety of life forms,
including 366 avian species, 379 species of flora.
