Nal Sarovar Birds Sanctuary

Nal Sarovar bird sanctuary is famous for different migratory birds which you can see in the winter. So best time to visit is December to February.  The water level in this lake is around 3 to 5 feet.

We went there by car from Ahmedabad. It is better to reach early in the morning around 5:30 AM. So you can get the ticket and boat early to see the birds. Boatmen costs between 2000/- to 3000/- for 8 seat boat for around 5 hours. The lake is really beautiful. We could see many birds but unfortunately big birds like Flamingos were less. There are 4-5 points to see inside the lake by boat. 
Carry enough food as there is not much things available in the lake to eat. There is an island in the lake, where you can have some local food like Rotlas with tea. You can also buy food from local people for birds, so that you can see them closely.
