Bharatpur 
Beyond Birding

A UNESCO HERITAGE

Bharatpur is home to the wonderful Unesco-listed Keoladeo National Park, a wetland and one of the best bird sanctuaries in the country. Although Bharatpur is known for it park, it also has a few historic remnants and a good museum that are worth visiting. Bharatpur hosts the boisterous and colourful Brij Festival just prior to Holi celebrations. It has a very easy approach as it lies between the golden triangle (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur).


Maharaja Suraj Mal founded the place in the year 1733 and it was capital of the rulers of Jat kingdom. Most of the historic ruins and vestiges belong to the 11th century. The palaces were sold to current custodians post-independence. These curators have restored the places and turned them into Hotels in Bharatpur. It is a perfect weekend getaway to enjoy royal lifestyle along several other historic explorations that the city has to offer.
