There is a bird sanctuary in Hardoi district which is in Sandi. Here you will see seasonal birds a good place to visit If a little maintenance of this bird sanctuary is done properly, then it will become even better.
The place is well connected to the city via bus and autos. A long ride inside with facilities provided at entrance only. A serene, quiet place to visit in the winter months especially in February. A small gallery is also present at the entrance depicting various bird species.
Well maintained bird sanctuary, clean and green. No entry to love birds, but entry only to feathered birds. Lots of migratory birds visit during winter. Boating facility available sometimes. Entry fee is cheap. Good place for recreation and education. Thanks to forest department for keeping it clean.
Amazing views and many different kinds of birds here.
A birder's paradise.. A must visit place Entry gate is difficult to find, and don't rely on Google maps as u may reach on the other side of sanctuary..entry gate is on Hardoi-sandi road.. A great place for birding... list of birds that i saw include 6 pairs of sarus cranes with 2 juveniles Pied kingfisher,White thraoted kingfisher,Grey heron Purple heron,Ibis,Egrets,Eurasian wryneck Hoopoe, greater coucal, crested lark, comb duck, purple moorhen, bronze winged jacana and many more.. all these in a span of just 3 hours Best time to go... November and February. Avoid going from 15 Dec to 20 Jan becoz of fog.. Away from city life its a beautiful place for birds.. only cons The sanctuary is big with a path 7.6kms long to walk, difficult to walk so long with camera gear.. no guides there... although they provide a guide book.. also the birds are far.. not like Bharatpur bird sanctuary .. A must visit for bird enthusiasts
Place is good but nothing to see there only local people bring there buffaloes there. Rude gaurds i didn't saw improvement there except entry charge. Only couples visit there for lonely place. Actually i hate management of sandi bird sanctuary
A nice place to visit. In the past, the rare Siberian white crane has been seen here.
