More Information:

  • Must try boat safari but you can avoid Nilkunthi. Not at all worthy to visit due to the nature violence and noise pollution created by massive Picnic parties.
  • Boat cost average 50 per head. Max 7/8 person per boat and they ride you for 1 hour. Time may increase on request by paying them more.
  • Parade in Petrapole starts around 4 pm in winter and 4:30 in Summer time. It continues for 20 min and it is a must watch event. It helds everyday and on Sunday they organise it in a special way.
  • Best time to go November to January. For bird watcher pre monsoon and winter are the best time.

    Love the way you captured the birds as it needs a hell lot of patience. True Village environment and greenery. Flag down ceremony was also captured genuinely. Thank you for sharing.
