Dungarpur Bird Fair

The Dungarpur Bird Fair is being organized on 21-22 December (Sat-Sun), 2013. The event will be two days long and all bird, wildlife and nature lovers are invited to experience the wonderful sights and sounds of the wildlife rich habitats of Dungarpur and its environs.
The lakes and forests of Dungarpur host a large diversity of resident and locally migratory birds all through the year. However, the period from October till March also witnesses arrival of a large variety of winter visitors from Central Asia and Europe to escape the inhospitable weather in their native lands. This effort is an attempt to put Dungarpur on the bird watching map of India as a popular birding and eco-tourism destination and is proposed to be held as an annual event.
