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.
