Raiganj (Kulik) Bird & Wildlife Sanctuary - Featured Reviews (3919)
Very nice ambience. It could be a good place for nature lovers. It's a Bird and Wild life sanctuary. In different seasons different migratory birds come here and participate in reproduction. Responsible authorities could have planned a jungle safari in a more organised way in a paid basis. Overall it's a good place to spend time with family and friends.
Beautiful place in close proximity of Raiganj town in Uttar Dinajpur district, West Bengal, India. The particular locality name is Kulik. It is one of the largest bird sanctuary in Asia, famous for migratory birds, specially Open Bill Stork . Every year just after the monsoon (June End to Mid July) the birds start gathering in the sanctuary and creates a beautiful scenario for the nature lovers. Once arrived, the birds stay upto end Feb or Mid March. They come, lay eggs , give birth to the children's and once they learn to fly, the family goes back to their home. The number sometimes reaches a lakh (100000) and the lush green trees literally become white with the birds. A treat to eyes. Beside the migratory birds, the sanctuary has a huge lake inside- ideal for some photography, fresh and salt water fish aquarium, a bluebuck (Nil Gai) , Owls , Bats , Tortoise and last but not the least a huge variety of trees The park opening and closing time is 8 am and 5 pm respectively in summer months. Entry fee for Adult Indian person is Rs. 40/-
2nd largest bird sanctuary in Asia. It is proud of North Dinajpur. Bird lover people from all over India as well as the world visit this place. Well managed place. There are dear park, Bat park, turtle park, local fish aquarium & many other attractive things inside the sanctuary. But it is mainly famous for migratory birds come from Siberia mainly. It is on the bank of river Kulik. There are 3 watch tower for watching bird. Bird lovers who want to see bird or take pictures or make videos should have to come in mid monsoon mainly in july. Ticket fair is Rs. 40/- for adults. For children and students there are special discount. Very nice place to spend time in natural ambiance.
This haven of a huge variety of birds is located near Raiganj in the Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal. The sanctuary offers shelter to almost 164 species of birds and every year around 70,000 to 80,000 migratory birds visit the sanctuary.
Paradise in the district headquarter town Raiganj. Kulik forest is the oxygen of Raiganj and its suburban. When I used to live in Raiganj and had my schooling it wasn't a popular place and I hardly went there. But now this place has turned itself into paradise. More than 90-100K migrated birds visit this place. You can cover the forest on foot in 2 hours. But to spot a bird and click photos you might need a day or even a stay. Raiganj Bird sanctuary has a tourist lodge as well. Entry fee Rs. 40/- only and NO extra charges for camera or DSLR. You can get some amazing shots if you are a photographer. This place is a bliss.
