BHARATPUR— A BIRDWATCHER’S PARADISE

Bharatpur is well known for two major attractions. First, it is home to the Keoladeo National Park (UNESCO-listed) which is an important migratory bird sanctuary and wetland. Secondly, the exuberant and multi-hued Brij Festival that takes place here, just before Holi, is a must for those who want to get a taste of local culture. Commonly known as the eastern gateway into Rajasthan, this city may not be as popular as Jaipur or Udaipur, but it certainly has its own charm.

If you’re interested in Rajasthani handicrafts, this city offers a wide variety at slightly cheaper rates than the other tourist cities. Bharatpur is an amalgamation of historical structures and cultural throwbacks.
