Over three days, expert local bird guides help you spot some of the more than 480 recorded species, including migratory waterfowl, storks, ibises, raptors and the endangered Bengal florican, by boat, hide and foot. The reserve is also home to the last wild population of the Asiatic wild water buffalo (arna). Best in winter when migratory birds are present.
