Sultanpur National Park

Sultanpur National Park is a protected area in the Gurgaon division of Haryana state, roughly 31 miles (50 kilometers) southwest of Delhi. The site covers wetlands, open grasslands, and low scrublands that together span roughly 350 acres (142 hectares).

British ornithologist Peter Michel Jackson campaigned for the creation of a bird sanctuary here in the early 1970s. The site received official national park status in 1991.

The name comes from Raja Sultan Singh Chauhan, a ruler from the region who founded the village in 1474. The history of the name still recalls the feudal past of this area south of Delhi.

The park offers observation towers, a visitor center with a small library, restrooms, and parking near the entrance. The best time to visit is between October and March, when many migratory birds stop here.

More than 250 bird species live or rest here throughout the year, including over 100 migratory species from Siberia and Europe. The number of waterfowl rises sharply during winter months, when the wetlands fill up.
