Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Rajpur Sonarpur, India
The protected area spans multiple hectares of wetlands and woodlands, providing natural habitats for numerous local and migratory bird species throughout the year.
The sanctuary, established in 1972, commemorates the name of ornithologist Chintamoni Kar, who dedicated his career to studying and documenting Indian bird species.
The sanctuary functions as an educational center where students and researchers gather to study bird behavior and conduct scientific observations of different species.
Visitors can access the sanctuary daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through advance booking at the main entrance office.
The sanctuary contains specialized observation points strategically placed near water bodies where rare Bengal water birds gather during morning and evening hours.
