Bharatpur National Park:

Migratory birds are the major attractions including Flamingo, Red crested Porhad, Rosy Pelican. Bird watching is not the only activity to do in the park, but flora and fauna can also be enjoyed in the park.
The sanctuary was created 250 years ago and is named after a Keoladeo (Shiva) temple within its boundaries The Park was a hunting ground for the maharajas of Bharatpur, a tradition dating back to 1850, and duck shoots were organized yearly in honor of the British viceroys. In one shoot alone in 1938, over 4,273 birds such as mallards and teals were killed by Lord Linlithgow, the then Governor-General of India. After India's independence, the rulers of the princely states were allowed shooting rights until 1972. In 1982, grazing was banned in the park, leading to violent clashes between the local farmer and Gujjar communities and the government.
