Yamuna Ghat: Delhi's Bird Paradise Blooms

Each winter, Delhi's Yamuna ghats become a tranquil sanctuary, drawing thousands of migratory birds and offering a peaceful contrast to the city's usual bustle. The banks of the Yamuna come alive with flocks of birds, creating a serene atmosphere for early risers.

Species such as black-headed and brown-headed gulls, alongside various wagtails, migrate from Northern Asia to these waters until March. Birders and photographers are drawn to the ghats for close-up observations, a rarity compared to more remote wetland locations.

The ghats also serve as a popular backdrop for photography, including fashion and pre-wedding shoots. The natural lighting and scenic river views provide a cinematic canvas.

This urban birding hotspot is crucial for bird census activities, despite the visible pollution. The confluence of nature, culture, and human activity makes Yamuna ghat a unique destination.
