About Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary

Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary is a 4.17 square kilometre wetland reserve located in Haryana, approximately 40 kilometres from Delhi, known for hosting over 250 species of migratory and resident birds. This sanctuary serves as a crucial stopover point for thousands of geese, ducks, and waders during winter migration. It is one of the few protected wetlands in the Delhi-National Capital Region offering easy access to wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers.

💡Why Visit?

Bhindawas is an exceptional destination for bird watching during winter months when vast flocks of migratory birds congregate at the wetland. Its proximity to Delhi makes it ideal for weekend trips to experience diverse avian life and nature in a semi-urban setting.
