Bochamari Bird Sanctuary - Bird watching area in Bara Salbari - Coochbehar, India

Good place to spend some quality time with your family and children.

there is good Can be visited once.

Here you can see red and yellow macow bird

Good sightings in winter months. Birders fond of waterbirds are welcome. Huge disturbances by picnic goers to the avian friends. A bit controlled by forest department this year.

It is very poor quality zoo. Nothing is here. What I saw and loved was a Peacock. There's no security. Every one was breaking rules by crossing the fence. I paid nothing to watch this zoo where the Entry fee board catched our eyes at rupees Rs20/- . But I personally think the value of the entry ticket should be below Rs5/- per person. Another disappointing issue was there which was the main attraction the 'Rasik Bill'( Oops, I really wanted to call it "sick bill"), filled with full of dirtyness. Where man extended their waste in spite of the banner "KEEP THE AREA AND THE REST OF THE ZOO CLEAN". The zoo is mainted by our(India' people's) tax. So I request you to raise your voice against the corruption and its hazardness as well as misuse also.
