    The spokesman said that the winter months from November to March offer an excellent opportunity for school groups, corporate houses, family groups and individuals to visit the sanctuary, and enjoy the week end in the lap of nature. The shallow lake and scrubby woodland add to the beauty of the area.

    This park was established in 1972 and upgraded to national level in 1991. Located just 50 kms from Delhi, on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, it is part of Gurgaon district.

    The birds spotted here include Siberian cranes, demoiselle cranes, ruddy shel duck, rosy pelican, mallard, pochard, teals, black winged stlit, greenshank, yellow and white wagtail, wood and spotted sandpiper northern pintail, long billed pipit, parakeets etc. Other wild life includes black buck, hog deer; stripped hyena; antelopes and money. It’s not just the nip in the air after sunset that is signalling the arrival of winter.
