THE INHABITANTS & THE VISITORS
Nalsarovar sees winter migrants from the north that include rosy pelicans,
flamingoes, white storks, brahminy ducks and herons. Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary
is one of the best of its kind in India during the winter months, teeming with
thousands of cranes, flamingoes, pelicans, ducks, storks and other birds.

BIRD WATCHING
A pair of binoculars and a person well versed in the local bird life will surely

experience a sunrise or sunset while gliding gently through the silent waters.
Country boats of the local people are available for birdwatching on the lake.
