About Sultanpur National Park

Sultanpur National Park is a 1.43 square kilometer wetland sanctuary located in Haryana near Delhi, recognized as a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance. It is a crucial stopover for migratory birds traveling between Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, hosting over 250 bird species during peak migration seasons. The park offers one of the best birdwatching experiences in North India with its shallow freshwater lake surrounded by reed beds and grasslands.

💡Why Visit?

This is an exceptional birdwatching destination during winter migration when thousands of migratory birds from Siberia, Afghanistan, and Central Asia arrive, making it one of Asia's richest avian hotspots within close proximity to Delhi.
