Really a heaven for the people near to Delhi NCR. Please check my insta account (@droom_arts) for more beautiful photographs of birds and wildlife. Thank you @droom_arts

Wet lands in the middle of urbanization, some one is developing plotting and houses just 100 Ft from the park main entrance, the wet land may stay for few more years but the birds may not visit this place , not sure how the permission was obtained to construct in such a close proximity As for the park it has nice lake and lots of migratory ducks, wooly necks and black necked storks. Hope that this place will survive in future or will this be run over by humans.

Great place to visit but remember time which is between 9 am to 4 pm only

A well preserved and maintained wetlands in middle of greater Noida, great place for jogging, cycling and chilling, the inner roadvstreches more than 3kms, easily accessible, can spot various species of birds, so get your set of binaculars or zoom lenses to be awstruck

On Sunday, 24-09-2022, Me along with my friend Dr. Jishnu (Who came from AIIMS Delhi) took a rikshaw from Noida City Centre Metro Station for birding Purpose and we reached this place by following google map route. It was heavy raining yesterday and morning also had intermittent rains so the road to the sanctuary was filled with water and mud; one cannot walk-in by foot. On reaching the location, the main was kept closed. We waited for sometimes blowing horn of auto to get the attraction of somebody inside. They didnt give phone numbers in the main gate and kept the door closed. After sometime, a group of 5-6 boys came, we thought they are photographers and the also started horning their car. Later one guy in white shirt and blue pant came out. We were really happy as we are coming from that distant to have a birding experience there. But to our surprise, the guy said the sanctuary will not give permission to visit till November. I was trying to speak with the person to get a chance somehow, but the boys interfered and started to have a heated discussion, ended in agony, the man closed the door infront of us and walked back. Is it true that, the sanctuary give permission from November onwards only. We could here the calls of so many birds and on the way to sanctuary we noticed so many birds are flying around. But our hopes were ruined and we had to go cancel our surajpur visit due to this issue. A simple request to authorities : Please provide the correct time in your website so that people like will not waste our time and will avoid these kind of situations. We lost Rs.600 autorickshaw charge on the day and our half day was also lost.

As the awareness has increased, it has become more visited place. In the beginning, it was secluded place. Government has made the path better with watch towers repainted and repaired. The place is home to winter migrant birds like ducks,teals, gargneys, grebes, grey headed swamphens, ibises, asian open bill storks, and black storks eagles. The span is quite large. If cycles are kept and given on rent for use inside, it would be better. Government seems to be doing improvements. The connecting road leading to the wetlands from the main road needs to be repaired. A new entry gate has been made as the old entry road passing through a village road was very congested. Also the old parking lot is very small. Now it is also decided that vehicles will have to be parked at the new gate only and visitors will be required to walk to the wetlands. This may be quite cumbersome in rainy days. But from the point of view of causing minimum disturbance to the wildlife, it is a good step.
