Thasrana Wetlands

Thasrana Wetlands is a natural wetland ecosystem in Haryana that provides habitats for water birds, land animals, and aquatic plants across its expanse. The terrain consists of shallow water areas mixed with reed beds and open water surfaces that create different environments for wildlife.

The wetlands gained designation as a Ramsar site and joined the international network of protected wetland areas. This recognition marked it as an officially protected location of global importance for nature conservation.

The wetlands hold meaning for nearby communities who have developed traditional ways of managing water and caring for the land over time. People here continue these practices as a way of maintaining their relationship with nature and passing knowledge to others.

Visitors can reach the wetlands by using designated walking paths throughout the area. The winter months from October to March are the best time to visit for observing the many bird species that arrive during migration.

The wetlands sit along a major migration route and host over one hundred Sarus cranes that remain year-round. These tall birds with their distinctive long legs form a notable part of the landscape and wildlife presence.
