Nawabganj bird š¦ sanctuary is nice place for nature lovers š¤š„ this place is located on Lucknow - Kanpur Highway . We can see verity of birds here with lots of greenry. Best time to visit is from Dec to January because some migrated birds are visible during this time. The birds migrate across Himalayas from Tibet, China, Europe and Siberia during winters. Some of these birds fly over 5000 km and above 8500 meters high to reach here. Some of the major migratory birds during the season are greylag goose, pintail, cotton teal, red-crested pochard, gadwall, shoveller, coot and mallard. Some major local migratory and residential birds are sarus crane, painted stork, peafowl, white ibis, dabchick, whistling teal, open-bill stork, white-necked stork, pheasant-tailed jacana, bronze winged jacana, purple moorhen, lapwing, tern, vulture, pigeon, king crow, Indian roller and bee-eater. We also have reptiles in this sanctuary like cobra, viper, rat snake and water snake please beware of them while visiting and sitting on ground. We have only 30 rupees entry ticket for this place but if u have some camera than u have to give 500 rupees fees for camera. We have 20 rupees parking fees for bikes We have lots of places to sit inside the sanctuary also we have some watch towers to see the birds from height. Please avoid food items inside the sanctuary as we have lots of monkeys who are attacking people for food items in bags. It is nice place if your are looking for nature and peace as u can listen lots of sounds from birds.

So today i had really bad experience here I went to this place with my 9 friends including me so in this group there are 3 girls and rest are boys so we all went inside to get a ticket but there was person named Vivek Verma who told us that girls are not allowed to go, this place set rules that only family entry for girls if there are more than 5 girls in a group then they can go inside, but not within boys group, I asked hum where is the official statement or any written notice about it there is no mention of this kind of rule even on website he replied the website is not updated, I said then there should be a written notice put on tickets collection window he said everyone knows the rules that's why we didn't put that notice, but then my question is so how can anyone other State person Know about this rule, he didn't allowed girls with us he said only boys can go inside, so we decide to go first, after 30 mins we came back and asked him now can girls go inside? He said yes now they can go inside, and he allowed girls. What kind of rules that was no legel information no notice there was a full "dadagiri" running in government authorised sector even though it's for public, shame on such department. Sharing some pics.

A Highly š¤® mismanaged place by the eco tourism UP. We recently visited here for bird sighting and to our surprise there were many flaws that we witnessed. š° We reached there at 7 and window opening time is 7:30 however it opened at 8:15 š° The entry charge is fine but they are charging ā¹500 for the camera. I mean with a small perimeter area which can be easily covered with foots and not a very large variety of birds still the additional charges are too high. š° If you roam around the periphery of the Sanctuary the wetland are found littered with filth and animal carcass which might have been thrown by the nearby residents causing a state of distress for the birds residing here To boost Tourism and attract more diverse footfall, the government should provide aid at this place, discuss and revise the unnecessary charges which are levied on the visitors. Discussion about the expansion and betterment of the Park should be done. Focus should be made to invite more local & migratory bird to boost tourism and efforts should be made for the clean and healthier environment.

Must visit place in Lucknow/Kanpur during winter. One of the best part is only a few people visit here by their own will (except school excursions). You can easily spot 20-25 species of birds. During winter lots of migratory birds came here. But this place needs lots of improvement. Artificial structures should be removed. Govt. Must promote ecotourism here. I am giving this place 1 less star because of the staffs working here. Don't forget to bring a nice digital camera. According to them one can't go inside with unmarried girls (irrespective of age/number of any gender). This is funny. They want us to give 500 INR each person so that they can give us permission to enter. I don't know what is the problem with UP but this is a serious concern about social structure. Professional photographers are charged here. Please remember that there is a difference between professional and personal, they always try to make a fool of people.

Helloās Friendās new update hereā¦ Our Bikers group went there last Sunday with hopeā¦ To see type of birds but we disappointedā¦ I think hardly we seen birds! There are a group of deer you can see.. A lager area to walk in only.. if I talk about the cleanness so the lake was so polluted by plastic and all was so smelling badā¦ Only some of area was good like the tower there you can click awesome pictures and selfi and can record videos or reels for social media.. The time of opening park is 8:00Am There are tickets for entry cost you 20/person and if you have bike with you that will 10/bike and tickets price are reasonable.. Note: beware of monkey they can chase you so be careful.. from my point of view you can go there to spend some quality time.. and if you want to see a brief video so watch my channel on YouTube that is (Xubhashsk).. Thanks

In the name of bird sanctuary, tourism govt officers are jus cheating, You can't go in sanctuary with camera first they will refuse to go inside with ur camera then they will call there officer and force u to not go inside with camera and somehow they allow u then they will say pay 500 rs fees per camera and go, the sanctuary is best example of mismanagement and scam, while i visited there were some labour's cleaning the lake at starting, but in back side walking 3-5 km i found all water body are dry, And if i talk about birds they are hardly 10 Different types of common birds only like sparrows, Indian roller, Bulbul, crow, chil and oriental bird, owl and few more. The park need good care, and now park is turning to lovers point, most of the college boys and girls come there in early morning in uniform but no officers cares about this
