KEOLADEO N.P. chiamato anche Santuario degli uccelli di Bharatpur, ( ne
sono state censite 230 specie), patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO dal
1971.
Venne creato 250 anni fa e deve il suo nome ad un tempio dedicato a
Keoladeo / Shiva che si trova entro ai suoi confini. Inizialmente era una
depressione naturale che venne allagata quando il Maharagja Suraj Mal
nel XVIII sec. costruì una diga alla confluenza dei fiumi Gambhir e
Banganga, creando un'enorme riserva di caccia in cui i sovrani di
Bharatpur organizzavano grandi battute in onore dei vicerè britannici:
in una sola, nel 1938, il governatore lord Linlithgow abbattè oltre 4200
uccelli!
