Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary - Featured Reviews (34)
The sanctuary is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the west of Kurukshetra University in the Kurukshetra district of Kurukshetra. According to a local legend, the lake in the sanctuary had an ancient link during the epic Mahabharata days when the Pandavas escaped to Haridwar through a tunnel under the lake. The sanctuary, as a wetland which is encircled by agricultural lands, provides adequate feeding grounds and safety for the birds that visit. The farmlands with scattered trees provide foraging areas and the lake provides a food supply to the birds in the form of crustaceans and invertebrates, as well as the water plants and plankton that flourish in the lake. The sanctuary covers an area of 28.92 hectares (71.5 acres).It was declared a Bird Sanctuary in 1986. Under the provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 (53 of 1972) of the Government of India, a zone of 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) surrounding the sanctuary has been declared an Eco-sensitive Zone to preserve its ecology and environment
A small but very beautiful wildlife sanctuary Many beautiful and rare birds can be seen here Some mammals like bluebull (Nilgai) rabbit jackal also can be seen here but their sghiting is not common In the winter season a lot of migratory birds came and make this place amazing than any other neighbouring place. Everyone should visit once.
