Went here as part of an organised tour for an afternoon. It is a big park and it is primarily bird life amongst rogue cows and antelope you will see. We saw a few turtles and other bits and pieces including the occasional monkeys! The rickshaw riders were good value and friendly also. It was nice to unplug from the... More

Our whole family loved our time at Keoladeo. We went in April, which is considered off-season, so we weren't sure if there would be many birds, but it was full of so many varieties, including the Saras Crane. The park is very peaceful and well maintained. We wished we would have had a bit more time here to explore. More

It is a lovely park to just wander around, due to no tigers you are free to walk within boundaries desinated. We spent approx 3 hours just bird/animal watching and wandering. Time passed so quickly. The park has a lookout point which when climbed gives you a good perspective of the size of the park. Binoculars are a must to... More

A quiet National Park where you can take pleasure in walking or travelling by bicycle or rickshaw to enjoy the birds and wildlife. This is a must for bird lovers and also a great park for families and couples. There are more birds here than any other park and also deer, blue bulls, jackal, turtles, crocodiles and more. It is...

You travel by rikshaw which is quiet and unobtrusive. You are not scaring the birds but enjoying their presence. More

We hired a cycle rickshaw. A mountain bike would have made for a lot less walking. Make sure you fix the price before the visit and write it down. More

Its likely that at very special times of the year its perhaps impressive. It definitely isn't in February/March (a little surprising). The guides and rickshaw drivers clearly consider it a lucrative business for them to milk as much tourist money as possible. The entry fee of 400inr each is grossly excessive and with guides/transport on top. My recommendation is don't... More

Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Get a guide (not expensive) to really get to know the park. It's not to big and with a guide you get off the beaten tracks. The bikes they have for rent (only 40 rps) are really bad ones, but they'll get you around. More
