Know before you go
Deeg Palace- The palaces form a quadrangle with a garden and walkways at its centre. There are decorative flower beds, shrubs, trees and numerous fountains which cool the place considerably during summer. Two huge water tanks, Gopal Sagar and Rup Sagar, on either side also help to bring down the temperature. In festivals such as Holi, colours are added to the water and small cloth pouches with different organic colours are manually inserted into the holes in the reservoir wall. When the water flows out through the intricate network of pipelines, the fountains begin spouting coloured water. The spray of water from the fountains and the jets create a monsoon-like ambience which is enhanced further by a unique technique that produces thunder-like sound all around the pavilion. Hundreds of metal balls placed strategically on the channel surrounding the roof are set rolling with the water pressure which results in a thunderous effect.
Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary- Over 230 species of birds are known to have made the bird park their home. The area is spread over a 29km space and was declared a protected sanctuary in 1971. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every year, thousands of migratory waterfowl visit the park for wintering breeding. The sanctuary is one of the richest bird areas in the world. It is known for the nesting of its resident birds and the visiting migratory birds, including water birds. The rare Siberian cranes used to come to this park in the winter for breeding.
