Okhla Bird Sanctuary is a bird sanctuary in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, situated at Okhla Barrage at the border of Noida and Delhi. It is especially famous for a large variety of water birds.
I visited it in March. But the best time to visit is from November to February when a large number of migratory birds arrive here to take shelter.
Here are some of the pictures from the visit:
Lots of water birds all around:
Some birds on a tree can be seen here:
Below is a Watch Tower; people interested in having a closer look at the birds can go to the watch towers. It is at a far end of the sanctuary.
Easiest way to reach the bird sanctuary is through Metro Train. Okhla Bird Sanctuary Metro Station on the Magenta Line which was recently inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi can be seen below. The bird sanctuary is at around 100 meters from here:

The entry fee for the bird sanctuary is Rs 30.
Because of the lake, the atmosphere inside the sanctuary is really cool and pleasant. A cold breeze welcomed me as soon as I entered it.
