 Tourists make a beeline for Bharatpur in winter, when the Keoladeo Ghana Bird Sanctuary is full of exotic foreign winged visitors who have migrated here from across the globe. The other seasons too have their own attractions. Spring is the time for courtship and nesting, when all the species become lovebirds. The rains are for breeding and rearing young, with nests across the parklands proudly hosting new mottled and speckled eggs. Once the hunting ground of the Maharaja of Bharatpur, the 29 sq. km Keoladeo was later turned into a bird sanctuary and now ranks among the most visited in India. This is manifest in the huge fan club of homo sapiens who migrate here in winter as wall, to give their feathered buddies a rousing welcome.
