    Though not a secret of Delhi but not many know about this small bird sanctuary on the banks of lazily flowing Yamuna. Winter heralds arrival of winged beauties here from as far and wide as Tibet, Mongolia and Siberia. Many species of birds arrive here and the sanctuary is a real delight for bird watchers. Plus point: not far away from the city, on Delhi-Noida border, this sanctuary offers ideal introduction to the birding activities.

    Must visit for nature’s lover. Lot of birds, trees. 500 m long natural trail For bird lovers best time to visit is in October when winter migratory birds visit. It has 2 km long trail for birds. The place has cafeteria with fast food snacks and genuine prices. If you want to take lot of photos of birds you need to purchase ticket of 500. Else entry fee is 30

    Beautiful and scenic place. Very peaceful but not well maintained. Poorly maintained place. And the main problem of this place is high tension wire, which passes through the sanctuary. Due to this high voltage current wire most of the birds usually avoid this place. Very very dangerous place in monsoon season due to this wire.

    If you are a birds lover or just an enthusiast, this is a good place to explore, spot and learn about birds of Delhi NCR region. Winters are a good time to go birding. On my maiden visit to Ohkla bird sanctuary, I was under the guidance of a bird expert and he helped me spot more than 60 birds. Delhi region has nearly 450 species of birds. Important Info - Gate no. 2 is the side from where I entered. 30 rupees for the entrance fees. 7a.m to 10-11 a.m. is a good time to invest there. Walk around. Go to the watch towers. Carry binoculars and camera if you have.

    The Okhla Bird Sanctuary, nestled in Noida, India, sprawls across 4 sq km at the Yamuna-Hindon river confluence. Hosting 300+ bird species, including migratory Siberian Cranes and resident kingfishers, herons, and egrets, it's a paradise for nature enthusiasts and photographers. The sanctuary's diverse habitats—wetlands, marshes, and grasslands—offer ideal breeding grounds. Visitors relish birdwatching, nature walks, and stunning vistas from designated viewpoints. Despite facing challenges like water pollution, the sanctuary thrives, but conservation efforts are crucial. A visit promises an enriching experience amidst nature's beauty and biodiversity, making it a must-see destination for those seeking serene ecological wonders.

    Good place to visit but better if you go at evening time or after 2 PM only because only at that time you will see variety of birds.

    Very beautiful place in Noida. I visit here once in a year in winters in the month of December. Best time to visit in Nov, Dec and Jan. If you are a photographer or photographing lover, u must visit this place once. There is so many beautiful birds plays around in River. Early morning is the best time to visit. You will get entry at 7 o clock in morning even. So many people come in morning to do morning walk. There is a beautiful wooden bridge. In the last year 2019 government had made so much of improvement for visitors. There is entry charges and for camera there is extra charges.

    Its a well poorly planned layout for a bird watching santuary. The only birds easily visible are the human love birds, and one has to walk about 5kms or so, in a comoletely straight line. Thry should have made some mini observatories within the area, closer to the marshes where the birds sit.

  • 4/5 Pavel S. 4 years ago on Google
    It's absolutely a fine place for nature lovers to visit. Specially in Winter, numerous species of migratory birds come here. Must have a good quality camera with zoom lense and a binocular with you, if you are planning for a visit here. The morning slots are best for photography. The camera fee is slightly on a higher side but the price is worth it.

    When visiting, choose Gate No 2 which is next to DND flyover and is marked as sector 15. It is close to both observation towers (1km approx) and the marsh where you can see most birds. Visit early morning before 10 or evening after 3 to have good views of birds. No arrangement for food, snacks or water, so it is not a picnic spot. You can't carry snacks inside. It is just a place for observation of birds and photography. Kids can have fun running . Gate 1 is close to Kalindi Kunj (sector 95) and you won't be able to see many birds. It is approx 2 km walk from Gate 1 till Gate 2 and can be real challenge for kids and people with less fitness. There are few boats under construction at gate 1, but no one can tell for sure when would they be operational.

    This place is just bliss. I have been coming to this place since I was in class 5 with my dad and I have beautiful memories attached to it. Once this place was just another open wetland area but now it's an approved Bird Sanctuary. Every inch of this place brings in the wild vibes in me. Best place to learn bird watching and photography of all sorts.

  • 3/5 bhaskar b. 3 years ago on Google
    I visit this place regularly (week ends) as stay near by. Surprised to see entry fee for camera is 500/- (very high as compared to any bird sanctuary). However, some people don't pay any thing for the camera, when asked the security guard, the answer was they are recommended by DFO Office sector-1 Noida, and thus entry is free, really people in India are fool.

    We couldn't see any birds it's just a usual lake. I think guide might have helped. There was no drinking water + toilets were filthy (no place to wash hands either) Instead we could see buffaloes + cows + goats. They should install few binoculars and accessible watch towers - or just shut down place for common public.

    I wanted to feel peace and to see the river side and the Okhla Bird Sanctuary is so convenient and close to the reach of Metro. I enjoyed the sound if the water and ducks. Watch Tower is worth to see above ground view in Okhla Bird Sanctuary.

    Visited Okhla Bird Sanctuary on 29 July 2023 with my kid. It was my first visit to this sanctuary, it is located in Noida, Gautam Buddh Nagar district, on the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh state border. Known as a haven for over 300 bird species, especially waterbirds, the Okhla Bird Sanctuary (OBS) covers roughly 4 square kilometres. To enter OBS, you have to pay a gate entry fee of Rs 30, and the entry point can be easily found on Google Maps. We chose the Noida gate entry, and luckily, the weather was pleasant with morning rain. However, due to the recent floods and the Yamuna river, we didn't get to see as many birds as expected. The sanctuary is well-designed with a straight road along the river, and there are plenty of seating benches, although they were often occupied by couples. If you visit with family, make sure to bring water and snacks as there are no food outlets inside. Also, it's important to be responsible and carry back any trash you generate, as some people have left litter in the sanctuary. Overall, it's a one-time visit destination. I would recommend checking out Surajpur wetland in Greater Noida for a more nature-centric experience, where you can observe numerous migrated birds.

    Good place to take a stroll and enjoy nature that too in the middle of Noida city.... Place is well kept and clean... Path towards the watch tower are off-road and gives you the feeling of being with the nature.

    A best ever place for Noida & Greater Noida living people. I gives you a feel close to nature. You can see various kinds of birds, insects & many more living beings. Summer or A sunny day with best visibility will be a great day to visit here. In Winters, due to greenery...Fog can ruin your trip. I hope my review will help you. Thank you ☺️

    Great place for bird watching, photographing, walking.

  • 4/5 Sunny A. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a photographer Paradise during the time when migratory birds cross this stretch. It's Very peaceful linear stretch of street to walk along with friends and family. It can be experienced any time of the year as it is very well shaded with tree cover through out the stretch and its right adjacent to two most important Artieral roads connecting noida to Delhi from kalindi kunj. It can also be accessed from Okhla metro station after crossing from footover bridge & then 5mims walk to the entry point.
