Asola Wild Life Sanctuary Travel Guide

The gigantic metropolis that is Delhi also holds many an ecological surprise. The patches of forest scattered over different parts of the city are hotspots for the ardent walker and nature enthusiast. One such hotspot exists near the Karni Singh Shooting Range on the Surajkund Road, known as the Asola Wildlife Sanctuary. Home to a wide array of birds as well as a smattering of reptiles, amphibians and mammals, the sanctuary offers a tryst up close with nature to those who want a reprieve from the city life. There are babblers, warblers, sparrows, bulbuls, white-eyes and many others in the foliage. There are kites that hover overhead, and fierce shikras that send all the little birds screaming as they dart in and out of the trees on their hunts. Watch out for the little nilgai herds, as well as the impressive termite hills dotted throughout the park.
