Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary, Jamnagar

There is no dearth of good places for the winged visitors to stop over in Jamnagar. The Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary too is one of them, with various varieties of breeding and migratory birds. Considered a vital place for ecological education and research, the sanctuary that was built during the 1920s consists of two man-made dams, one each for fresh water and sea water, respectively.

The sanctuary is a breeding ground for the great crested grebe, little grebe, coot, pheasant tailed jacana, and purple moorhen to name a few. Some of the migratory birds that visit the sanctuary include wagtails, swallows, waterfowls, martins and more. The places are accessible by rickshaws and private vehicles.
