Tour Overview

A perfect blend of heritage and nature in one unforgettable journey

Embark on an extraordinary 2-day journey that seamlessly combines India's most iconic monument with one of the world's finest bird sanctuaries. Our 2 Days Agra & Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary Tour Package is meticulously designed for travelers who appreciate both architectural grandeur and natural beauty.

What This 2-Day Tour Covers

This comprehensive tour package takes you through multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites and natural wonders:

  • Day 1: Begin with the magnificent Taj Mahal at sunrise, explore the imposing Agra Fort, visit the serene Mehtab Bagh for sunset views, and discover the abandoned Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri
  • Day 2: Experience the incredible biodiversity of Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary) with expert naturalists, enjoy a peaceful rickshaw safari through wetlands, and witness rare migratory birds in their natural habitat

Why Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (Keoladeo National Park) is Famous

Keoladeo National Park, formerly known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most important bird breeding and feeding grounds. Spread over 29 square kilometers, this man-made wetland ecosystem attracts over 370 bird species, including rare and endangered species like the Siberian Crane (historically), Painted Stork, Sarus Crane, and countless migratory waterfowl from Siberia, Europe, and Central Asia.

The sanctuary is a paradise for ornithologists, wildlife photographers, and nature enthusiasts. During peak season (November to February), the wetlands come alive with thousands of birds, creating a spectacular visual and auditory experience. The slow-paced rickshaw safari allows intimate observation without disturbing the wildlife, making it an ideal family-friendly nature experience.

Best Time to Visit

The optimal period for this tour is October to March, with the peak bird-watching season being November to February when migratory birds arrive in large numbers. During these months, the weather is pleasant (15-25°C), making sightseeing comfortable, and the Taj Mahal appears stunning in the soft winter light. Avoid the monsoon (July-September) when the sanctuary may have restricted access due to flooding.

  • Bird Watching Enthusiasts: Witness rare species and learn from expert naturalist guides
  • Wildlife Photographers: Capture stunning images of birds, landscapes, and architectural marvels

Bharatpur is approximately 55-60 km from Agra, which takes about 1 to 1.5 hours by road via National Highway 21. The drive is scenic and comfortable. From Delhi, it's about 180-190 km (approximately 3.5-4 hours via Yamuna Expressway).
Are entry tickets to monuments included in the package?

Entry tickets can be included as an optional add-on based on your package choice. We clearly mention ticket inclusions at the time of booking. Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary entry and rickshaw safari charges can also be included. Monument tickets for foreigners: Taj Mahal (₹1,100), Agra Fort (₹650), Fatehpur Sikri (₹610), Keoladeo (₹200).

Do I need binoculars for bird watching?
+
Binoculars greatly enhance the bird watching experience at Keoladeo. We strongly recommend bringing your own (8x42 or 10x42 magnification is ideal for birding). However, binoculars can also be rented at the sanctuary entrance for a nominal fee (approximately ₹50-100 for the safari duration). Our naturalist guides carry field guides to help identify species.
Is photography allowed in the bird sanctuary?
+
Yes, photography is fully allowed throughout Keoladeo National Park. Professional cameras with telephoto lenses (300mm or longer recommended) are ideal for bird photography. A camera fee may apply at the entrance (typically ₹200-500 for professional equipment). The rickshaw safari allows you to stop frequently for photography. Best light is early morning (7-10 AM) and late afternoon (3-5 PM).
Are meals included in the package?
+
The package includes breakfast at your hotel on Day 2. Lunch and dinner are not included in the base price but can be added as optional upgrades at booking. We recommend excellent restaurants in Agra (Mughlai, North Indian, multi-cuisine) and Bharatpur (vegetarian options near the sanctuary). A full meal package adds approximately ₹1,500 per person per day.
