Abohar Wildlife Sanctuary

Abohar Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Ferozepur district, Punjab, that serves as a refuge for bird species from the region and beyond. The site encompasses a small plot of land where visitors can observe both resident birds and seasonal visitors in their natural surroundings.

The government designated this land as a protected area in 1977 to safeguard bird populations and establish a space for conservation work. This official status marked the start of organized protection efforts in the region.

Local communities surrounding the sanctuary maintain nature-focused traditions through educational programs and initiatives focused on wildlife preservation and environmental responsibility.

You can visit throughout the year, with guided tours available for watching birds. Bring binoculars and wear comfortable shoes to get the best views and navigate the grounds easily.

During the monsoon season, the grounds become a major roosting spot for thousands of migratory birds such as Grey Herons and Painted Storks. This seasonal influx brings peak bird activity and the best viewing opportunities.
