Sultanpur National Park

Sultanpur National Park sits just 15 km from Gurugram, a former marshland turned bird sanctuary in 1971 and later upgraded to national park status, now a Ramsar wetland of international importance hosting over 250 bird species across its wetland, grassland, and farmland habitats. Discovered as a significant birding site by the celebrated ornithologist Salim Ali and later documented in detail by Peter Jackson, the park draws bar-headed geese, greylag geese, and common teal each winter alongside a strong resident bird population year-round. Sultanpur suits birdwatchers and casual nature travelers wanting genuinely serious wildlife viewing within a 45-minute drive of Delhi's edge — watchtowers positioned around the wetland offer excellent vantage points, and the Heritage Transport Museum nearby extends the area's appeal for travelers wanting to combine birding with a different kind of sightseeing.
