Notes :

Owing to its proximity to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, Bharatpur becomes an ideal stopover destination if you want to escape to tranquility. For the avid bird-watcher this is a virtual paradise. You can watch nesting water-birds as well as migratory birds. The sanctuary is also inhabited by Sambhar, Nilgai, Cheetal and Boar. Keoladeo derives its name from the Shiva temple in the Park. The Park was a hunting ground for the Maharajas of Bharatpur who later organized shoots for the British rulers. There are stone plaques that record the number of birds killed in a single day, sometimes more than 4000 birds were shot in one day! It was declared a protected sanctuary in 1971 and a World Heritage Site.
