Where and When You Can Watch Birds
There are four beautiful locations along the riverfront set aside for bird watching:
Biodiversity Park
Under Ambedkar Bridge
Flower Park
Dudheshwar Bridge near Railway Subhash Bridge
You can visit any of these spots between 6 AM to 8 AM or 5 PM to 7 PM. These times are best for bird watching as many birds are active then.
Expert bird watchers will be there to guide you. They'll bring telescopes, binoculars, and cameras to help you spot and capture the beauty of the birds. You'll also get handbooks to learn about different bird species and their habits.
A City of Birds
Ahmedabad is home to nearly 2 lakh birds from 191 different species every year. This programme, supported by Municipal Commissioner Banchhanidhi Pani, hopes to help people feel closer to nature and enjoy the wonderful variety of birds the city welcomes.
These sessions are not just fun - they help raise awareness about birds and the need to protect their habitats. It's a great way to learn, relax, and spend time with nature without leaving the city.
The bird-watching experience is part of a larger effort to promote eco-tourism and sustainable development in Ahmedabad. By offering such thoughtful events, the city is showing that it cares about both the environment and the well-being of its people.
