Few places in the world have such teeming diversity of winged life as the bird sanctuaries of Rajasthan.

Different parts of Rajasthan have varying climatic and geographical conditions. On the one side are the Aravalis, one of the oldest mountain ranges while on the other side is the Thar desert. Marshlands and salt and fresh water lakes are also spread throughout the state. The best colony of birds in the world, Keoladeo Ghana is situated in the marshlands of Rajasthan. Jaisamand is a famous fresh water lake, while Sambhar and Pachpadra are the better known salt water lakes.

Probably it is because of these diversities that Rajasthan is so rich in its bird-life. One can find around 450 species of birds here, including some rare species. Most of the birds are resident, while some are migratory which come here to spend the winters and return to their homeland in summer.
