Harike Wetland, Bird sanctuary and wetland in Punjab, India

Harike Wetland spans 4,100 hectares across the confluence of Sutlej and Beas Rivers, with waters reaching depths of 2 meters at 210 meters elevation.

The construction of headworks across the Sutlej River in 1953 formed Harike Lake, transforming the regional water management system in northern India.

The wetland holds connections to Sikh heritage through its proximity to Hari ke Pattan, birthplace of Guru Angad Dev Ji in 1504.

Winter months offer the best opportunities for bird watching, with accessible paths allowing visitors to observe both local and migratory bird species.

The waters of Harike provide habitat for Indus dolphins and gharials, making it among the few locations in India where these species coexist.
