Understand

Ranganathittu, although covering less than 1 square kilometer, is a paradise for bird lovers. This sanctuary boasts an exceptionally high bird population density, with various magnificent species such as painted storks, spoonbills, white ibises, egrets, herons, and partridges flocking to its tiny islands within the river. While exploring the sanctuary by boat, you may catch glimpses of these remarkable birds up close. However, it's important to keep in mind that the river also plays host to a few crocodiles, so swimming is definitely not advised. For the ultimate experience, plan your visit from March to May when the sanctuary truly comes alive!
