Keoladeo National Park is not visited by many people during the monsoon months. The purpose of my visit was to observe and photograph the rookery of herons and other birds such as spoonbills, storks, and cormorants. This is when herons and other birds breed on small islands in lakes or ponds within the national park. Other than this, there is a plethora of wildlife and wildlife activity around the park. For those who are really interested in wildlife photography, they should probably visit this place during the monsoon months. However, one must be aware that it would be extremely hot. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Chambal River Boat Safari
I had taken the overnight train from Dehradun to Bharatpur and on arrival at Bharatpur, I headed to Kiran Guesthouse which is run by Tarun Singh who is also a well experienced naturalist. After taking a short rest, we decided to head over to Chambal which was around a 2 hour drive. One needs to arrive at Dholpur to get an experience of doing the Chambal river boat safari. Safari costs are on the high side. We opted for a 4 hour boat safari. We were able to get good sightings of Gharials, Skimmers, Crocodiles and various other rare birds and amphibians. It was a bit late in season however despite that, we were able to get some really good sightings.
