Bharatpur Tourism

Bharatpur is located in the Braj region of state Rajasthan, around 38 km from Mathura. Bharatpur is famous for the Keoladeo National Park, which habitats over 370 species of animals and birds. It is recognised as one of the most popular birds feeding and breeding grounds. In 1982 the park was marked as a National Park, and later in 1985, it came on the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. This National Park, locally known as Ghana, has been a winter home for the Siberian Crane; a species on the verge of extinction (considered an endangered bird today).

Bharatpur is drenched by its culture and folklore can be heard from miles. Ruled once by a myriad of rulers, from Jats to Nizams, to the British imperialists, Bharatpur has its own regal history, enshrined in places such as Lohagarh Fort. An exotic offbeat destination that serves tourists with authentic Rajasthani traditions, religious occasions mark devotion of the state people. Also known as Lohagarh, it is a part of the golden tourism triangle of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, this place attracts a considerable number of national and international tourist every year. Bharat is also a part of the NCR (National Capital Region).

Restaurants and Local Food in Bharatpur

The food here does not really stand out in terms of uniqueness or a vibrant food culture. Yet, the place will offer you simple and popular Rajasthani as well as North-Indian snacks and preparations. One can flatter their appetite with Pyaaz Kachori, Mawa Kachori, Aloo ki subzi and more. Also, most restaurants here close by 10:30 PM and hence might need you to schedule your dinner plans accordingly.

How to Reach Bharatpur

How to Reach Overview

Bharatpur is well connected by both rail and road from the nearby cities, especially from Delhi (200kms), Agra (60kms) and Jaipur (180 kms). You can take one of the many frequent trains from either of these cities to reach Bharatpur in 3-4 hours. Bharatpur is also connected to all of these major cities via National Highways, and you can easily drive from Delhi/Jaipur in under 4 hours (and under 2 from Agra).

How to reach Bharatpur by flight

There is no direct flight connectivity to Bharatpur. The nearest airport is in Agra (50kms), but Agra airport is serviced by very few flights. Jaipur International Airport (180 kms) and Delhi Airport (200kms) might be much more well-connected and cheaper than the one at Agra, and just a few hours away (2-3 hours) more than Agra.

How to reach Bharatpur by road

Bharatpur is not very far off from the Delhi - Agra - Lucknow Expressway, about an hour's drive from Mathura. If you are planning to drive from the eastern side, this should be a comfortable and easy ride, and the easiest way to reach Bharatpur. Even from Jaipur, Bharatpur is connected via a national highway, so reaching here by car is easy and fast.

Rajasthan State Transport runs a very frequent bus service from Jaipur and Delhi to Bharatpur, and from Agra/Mathura as well you should be able to find a number of state run and private buses to take you to Bharatpur. You will need to go to the local bus stop in each of these places and find out about the timing and availability of the next bus. Please keep in mind that while the buses are really cheap and efficient enough, this is a very crowded route which citizens travel frequently for trade reasons.

How to reach Bharatpur by train

Bharatpur is conveniently located on the Delhi-Agra and Delhi-Mumbai train route, and is lucky to have a number of trains stopping here. There are over 50 trains connecting Delhi to Bharatpur on a daily basis, and plenty of them from Jaipur and Agra as well. There are quite a few long-distance trains that stop here as well, so you should be able to find a train route from the far away cities like Mumbai or Kolkata.

Local transport in Bharatpur

Autos and tongas are the most widely used mode of transport within the city. Cabs are also available. Cycle Rickshaws are authorised to take you inside the National Park as well.

on Bharatpur National Park 6 years ago

I went to Bharatpur in January. The best time to visit the national park is in the morning. We left at 7am and were able to see a lot of birds. Since the national park is widely spread, take a bicycl (Read More)e or a rickshaw for the tour. The rickshaw pullers act as perfect guides for a mere pittance. If you are a student, carry your ID card to get discount.

- Bharatpur is just amazing. Go sometime between Nov-Feb and you will be just amazed to see so many kind of birds in such huge numbers).

- Loved the bird sanctuary. Do take the guided tours by rickshaw pullers - they really know their birds. Plan on spending the entire day in there - you'll only like it if you have the patience.
- (Read More) Keep you sunscreen and sunglasses handy. The ride into the National Park would be quite dusty, so go prepared for that. For visiting temples, appropriate rules apply.
