Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans 120 square kilometers of wetlands, providing essential habitats for over 250 bird species including pelicans, flamingos, and herons.

The formation of Nalsarovar dates to the 15th century when administrators constructed a check dam across the Sabarmati river to create this water body.

The Padhar community maintains traditional boating practices, offering guided tours through the waters while sharing knowledge about local bird species.

Visitors can access the sanctuary between 6 AM and 5:30 PM, with boat rides available for bird watching and entrance fees varying for domestic and international guests.

The sanctuary contains 36 documented islands that serve as nesting grounds for both resident and migratory birds throughout different seasons.
