Magical Bharatpur
Bharathpur is truly a magical place for birders and landscape photographers.
When I decided to spend a weekend, called up Devendra Singh from IORA guest house in Bharathpur to check if the timing is right and he assured it is. IORA guest house is simple yet elegant home stay managed by Devendra Singh. Since Devendraji is also a photographer himself, we got lot tips from him and also got to see some his incredible photos from Bharatpur. During my stay, I also happen to meet with couple of other fellow photographers, Nitish Bindal who is a a biker and Sunil Parik who happens to be a nurse by profession and hails from Kota. Next two days along with these 2 gentlemen and some incredible birding sessions at Bharathpur, turned out be a trip that will remain in my memories for long!
Bharatpur's ecosystem is unique with lot of marsh lands that develops after a heavy rainy season providing excellent food sources for birds and animals.
Many birds make their home and nest here during winters and early summers. The highlight of Bharatpur is Darters and Cormorants hunting for fish. Darters toss up the small silverfishes and gulps them through their mouth. This scenery is incredible to watch as the activity is continuos and you are grappling for that perfect shot.
Travel notes
Best Time is Ja, Feb as many migratory birds are around. Be ready for long walks, you can also use battery operated rickshaws.
