I just did a stopover at this place on my way back to Delhi. It is conveniently located on the NH-19 connecting Delhi to Agra. As you drive into the park you do get a feeling that it's serene but then it's just a feeling. I maybe wrong cause I hardly stayed there for 2-3 hours. Plus it was 26 January and hordes of school driven, probably after the morning session at school, and families started coming most likely for a picnic. All that was fine but what happened after that was out of the world. As with any crowd the cacophony increased followed by kids throwing stones in the still waters of the Keetham lake. By that time I decided I had enough and started my way back to Delhi. Had it been any other day, I could have clicked birds in a much quieter atmosphere. Maybe some other time. However, as I have realised by now the fee for taking a camera in a bird sanctuary is way too high. Here too it was 500 bucks. And mind you can drive your car across the Sanctuary, you need to pay Rs 100 for that and you can park your car anywhere you like.

Distance from Mathura is about 30 km. (Delhi to Mathura and then connect by Bus) or you can travel back from Agra.
This review is both professional and to create environmental awareness on protecting a few sanctuaries or spaces for migrant and resident birds to live peacefully. The place has been blessed by Surdas's presence. Promoted by the Mathura Refinery as a source of water and maintained by the Forest department the winter time has close to 150+ species which visit the lake. There is also an effort to protect the dancing bear in a protected rescue center which has close to 241 bears. Jan-Feb 2014 the sanctuary has recorded Flamingo and Pelicans too. This place also has space for the Pythons. The chital and Nilgai were earlier seen and now less in numbers. Tourism creates revenue for construction of a boundary wall and research studies. Good to carry an energy drink. It is a long walk into the sanctuary.

Wild life SOS, Keetham Lake, Sur Kuti and bird sanctuary are in one place and can be visited simultaneously. When we went, there were no tourists so we got totally calm atmosphere and could enjoy natural beauty in it's natural form.

I had pre-booked to go here as part of a school trip. On arrival we were met and given a tour around and a brief overview of the sanctuary. Due to the time of year we were there to find out more about the Sloth Bear rather than birds. (As not so many birds around at this time of year) The tour/talk was very informative and the guide clearly had a lot of knowledge and was passionate about his job.
We had the opportunity to see some of the sloth bears that had been rescued. We also watched a short movie to tell us more and had a chance to look in the medical room where the vets treat the bears.
Its a great project that not only rescues the bears but then educates the people that were mistreating the bears. The staff were all lovely and clearly there for the love of the animals.
The students loved it here.

Located just about 30 km from Mathura, This place boasts of natural beauty and calmness. Keetham Lake, Sur Kurti and bird sanctuary all can be visited at the same time. This place is not that touristy for which we could enjoy the natural beauty and its calm atmosphere. It is a must visit for python lovers and ornithologists.

Visited the Bear rescue centre. Met Ruman Khan, the education officer who conducted us around. It was a very touching experience. Kudos to Mr Ruman Khan , the vet Dr Illayaraja and ofcourse all those behind this project whose dedication and devotion to this noble cause is praiseworthy.They as a team are doing a wonderful job. Everyone visiting Agra must make it a point to visit this place.

Located 20 kilometers away from Agra on the Delhi-Agra Highway. With an area of 7,97 square kilometers, the sanctuary was declared a National Bird Sanctuary in 1991. More than 106 species of migratory birds come to Sur Sarovar every year, it is also the habitat for birds such as the little gerb, cattle egret, purple heron, darter, common teal and pintail, among others. This place is an ideal spot for a picnic with the kids. Open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Kids are going to enjoy this place because of the wide open spaces and by watching the many colorful birds at the sanctuary.

This was far more than I expected and I had a wonderful guide who gave me so much great information. He struggled to pedal but did such a good job pointing animals and birds out to me it was easily one of my best experience during my 11 day trip.
After the crowds and never ending car horns, it was so nice to only hear birds and animals.So peaceful.
