Must visit for nature’s lover. Lot of birds, trees. 500 m long natural trailFor bird lovers best time to visit is in October when winter migratory birds visit. It has 2 km long trail for birds.The place has cafeteria with fast food snacks and genuine prices.If you want to take lot of photos of birds you need to purchase ticket of 500. Else entry fee is 30

Good place to take a stroll and enjoy nature that too in the middle of Noida city.... Place is well kept and clean... Path towards the watch tower are off-road and gives you the feeling of being with the nature.

This place is just bliss. I have been coming to this place since I was in class 5 with my dad and I have beautiful memories attached to it. Once this place was just another open wetland area but now its an approved Bird Sanctuary. Every inch of this place brings in the wild vibes in me.Best place to learn bird watching and photography of all sorts.

Its absolutely a fine place for nature lovers to visit. Specially in Winter, numerous species of migratory birds come here.Must have a good quality camera with zoom lense and a binocular with you, if you are planning for a visit here.The morning slots are best for photography. The camera fee is slightly on a higher side but the price is worth it.

Very beautiful place in Noida. I visit here once in a year in winters in the month of December. Best time to visit in Nov, Dec and Jan. If you are a photographer or photographing lover, u must visit this place once. There is so many beautiful birds plays around in River. Early morning is the best time to visit. You will get entry at 7 o clock in morning even. So many people come in morning to do morning walk. There is a beautiful wooden bridge. In the last year 2019 government had made so much of improvement for visitors. There is entry charges and for camera there is extra charges.

When visiting, choose Gate No 2 which is next to DND flyover and is marked as sector 15. It is close to both observation towers (1km approx) and the marsh where you can see most birds. Visit early morning before 10 or evening after 3 to have good views of birds.No arrangement for food, snacks or water, so it is not a picnic spot. You cant carry snacks inside. It is just a place for observation of birds and photography. Kids can have fun running .Gate 1 is close to Kalindi Kunj (sector 95) and you wont be able to see many birds. It is approx 2 km walk from Gate 1 till Gate 2 and can be real challenge for kids and people with less fitness.There are few boats under construction at gate 1, but no one can tell for sure when would they be operational.

Beautiful sanctuary to visit. It’s clean from inside and perfect place for walking & running. Multiple watch towers for bird watchers

Review №19

This place can be best enjoyed in winter mornings. I would suggest you to go from Gate No. 2 as the bird watching tower is near from this gate. Also, there is bridge connecting two island, which in itself is beautiful. The maximum activity of birds can be seen before sunrise.Parking Facility- One can park their car outside the gate. Parking here is free.Entry Fee- The entry fee here is Rs. 30/- per person.Camera Fee- They charge heavily for camera (Rs.500/-) but phone is allowed so one can click from phone camera without paying any fee.Nearest Metro- Okhla Bird Sanctuary is nearest metro station but it will take you to gate no 1 ( Note- I suggested to enter from gate no 2)

Best for morning walk. you will definitely find peace there. if u are a bird guy, binoculars is a must. there are 2 watch towers, but that is in between swamps, and a kuccha road goes in there.

Review №21

Though not a secret of Delhi but not many know about this small bird sanctuary on the banks of lazily flowing Yamuna.Winter heralds arrival of winged beauties here from as far and wide as Tibet, Mongolia and Siberia. Many species of birds arrive here and the sanctuary is a real delight for bird watchers.Plus point: not far away from the city, on Delhi-Noida border, this sanctuary offers ideal introduction to the birding activities.

Good place for bird watching...itll be better if you go lone as most of the birds are very sensitive as they swim/fly away as they hear cracking of wood or leaves

Review №24

If you are a birds lover or just an enthusiast, this is a good place to explore, spot and learn about birds of Delhi NCR region. Winters are a good time to go birding. On my maiden visit to Ohkla bird sanctuary, I was under the guidance of a bird expert and he helped me spot more than 60 birds. Delhi region has nearly 450 species of birds.Important Info - Gate no. 2 is the side from where I entered. 30 rupees for the entrance fees. 7a.m to 10-11 a.m. is a good time to invest there. Walk around. Go to the watch towers. Carry binoculars and camera if you have.

Nothing to actually see here just trees, bushes, a river, some random birds and a whole lot of emptiness. Although the ticket price was just ₹30 yet I wonder if this even worth that much. We went here to try out our new lenses and camera so that was fine.

Great place to be close to nature considering its still in the city. Those who like long walks can enjoy it. Photography is also a delight. You can just sit on the bench and just spoke your self in nature as well.Not much of people know of this place so you wouldnt find it crowded, just some couples some times and few locals some time having lunch. It depends on what time of the day and what day you visit this place. Parking is free and it have entry from two side. Although there is no parking structure.You can have great time alone as well as in company of your friends.

Review №39

Beautiful and scenic place. Very peaceful but not well maintained. Poorly maintained place. And the main problem of this place is high tension wire, which passes through the sanctuary. Due to this high voltage current wire most of the birds usually avoid this place. Very very dangerous place in monsoon season due to this wire.

Did you know that there is a proper marshland off Noida? Its the Okhla Bird Sanctuary that is home to about 200 species if migratory birds from autumn to winter. Once inside we were almost transported to scenes from Africa. Ornithologist Mr. Singh took us on a bird walk inside the sanctuary and showed us many species. It made walking up early on a winter morning so worthwhile!

You need to be a frequent visitor and now the place in and out to find exact location of birds. Its great that Delhi still has places like these in the Middest of pollution. It is geeta relief for a natural walk but if u r going there in search of birds you need to definitely make it a habit and visit the place quite often.

The Okhla bird sanctuary, located at the Gautam Budh Nagar district of Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on the banks of the Yamuna River bordering the aforementioned state with New Delhi, is a renowned wetland bird sanctuary developed due to the creation of the Okhla Barrage on the river by the British government long back in the year 1874. About 320 different species of birds can be spotted at this location around the year, but majority of the birds found here are the waterbirds. 🦆Although extensive and ceaseless pollution in the river has formed danger in front of these creatures, they can be spotted in hundreds roaming afloat on the lake and marshlands, especially during the early morning session. A good number of land birds and squirrels have also made this well-maintained park a blissful one to spend time inside! 🐿The worst thing about this place is the extensive charge they seek from the visitors, especially the foreigners. Indian residents need to pay Rs. 30 per head to get an entry here, and for each occupancy of DSLR, they charge Rs. 500 per camera, which is outrageous. They accept only cash payment, leaving it difficult for the foreigners for whom the ticket slab is already multiplied. There does not exist even a proper ticket counter here.

This place is an absolute bliss for nature lovers specially in winter mornings when you can easily watch many beautiful water birds and some migratory birds as well....but due to nearby construction and increased urbanisation,you may spot a little less numner of birds.Its better to come in small groups as the place is very quiet and lonely.You can easily spot variety of plants and trees also.Once a visit is a must as this place makes us realise the value of nature.If you want to visit the whole sanctuary,the whole day would be consumed easily.....but it is worth the visit:)

Excellent for a quiet getaway within the city. Has a splendid variety of birds. Few things to keep in mind. If going bird watching, you shall need atleast a 10x25 binoculars or a camera with atleast 300mm lens. Early morning is the best time to visit. Carry enough water and food in your bag and the experience is always full of smiles

The Okhla Bird Sanctuary (OBS) is roughly 4 square kilometres in size and is situated at the entrance of NOIDA in Gautam Budh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. It is situated at a point where river Yamuna enters in the state of Uttar Pradesh leaving the territory of Delhi. It is one among 15 bird sanctuaries in the state.

Oasis in middle of New Delhi & Noida. Victim of urbanization. My point is save whatever left. Let the environmentalist & experts think how to save this oasis. After 7.00 AM Rs 30 ticket. Go there in winters.During summer best place for morning walkers air quality is better than Lodi garden. Plenty parking at gate no. 2. which is opposite sector 15 Noida.

A long road stretching from one end to another. Covered with tall lush green trees on both sides. Few birds reside on these trees but most of them are seen having fun in water. A small pond has been made from river yamuna flowing nearby.Temperature is usully two or three degrees lower than that of surrounding areas..Cons: Washroom & teastalls are unavailable so be carefull.

We couldnt see any birds its just a usual lake.
