So Where Is Khijadiya And How You Can Reach There..??

Khijadiya Bird sanctuary is just 14 km away from Jamnagar, Gujarat state, India. You can get direct daily flight from Mumbai for Jamnagar. If you want to come by train and feel the journey of Indian railways, than Jamnagar is connected to the most of the part of the country by train.

Here is the perfect location of your destination.

If you are going by car or by two wheeler, you can take your vehicle inside the sanctuary with prior permission and with nominal charges. but the vehicle sound will distract the birds and they will fly away so i personally recommend you to go by walk and enjoy birding with silent foot.

Birds can be your friends if you follow the rules of nature. silently explore the area without any unwanted noise. Least Disturbance to nature will ultimately help you to understand the nature and feel it.

Here are few amazing birds you can see at khijdiya Bird Sanctuary. Along with birding experts you can easily recognize birds and learn about their lifestyle and from where they belong to. Most of the birds are migratory in between october to march.

The Most Common Problem while bird watching is your limited vision. Even with binoculars and zoom lens cameras some birds are quite inaccessible. Well in that case use a professional high quality binocular. If you are really seriously into birding don’t go for cheap things, spend a little more and you will realize that it’s worth only. The Binocular i use for birding and wildlife observation is Olympus 118760 10×50 DPSI Wide-Angle Binocular (Black).
