Gujarat

Apart from amazing Tourist places in Gujarat, Gujarat is also a heaven for birdwatchers, as it houses thousands of bird species. It is geographically situated between two traditional bird migration routes, one from Middle East and Europe to peninsular and another from the India Central and North Asia to East Africa. This makes Gujarat a perfect resting ground where birds of many feathers rest together. During the monsoon season, from July to September, the plentiful rains refill lakes and ponds and regenerate grasslands, creating a perfect habitat for visiting birds. It is believed that roughly 1.3 million migratory waterfowl visit Gujarat's 1,419 wetlands every year. The Rann of Kutch and the lakes around Jamnagar also serves breeding ground for pelicans, flamingoes and avocets during the monsoon season. The following section lists the various Bird Sanctuaries in Gujarat.
