Pareij Wetlands is an amazing birding destination in Gujarat. Facebook birders a must destination.
I had been planning for a long time to visit Gujarat to do some serious birding. Having been to Bunni, the grasslands in Kutch, the various water bodies along the national highways, Gir Forest and Thol, the famous migratory bird sanctuary I felt I needed to explore other potential areas.
Eddie, a schoolmate who had dropped into Abu for a brief visit, suggested we go birding in the Kheda wetlands of Gujarat, an area 60 km out of Ahmedabad. I jumped at the offer, better to be a part of Gujarat at this time of the year rather than spending a long time in Abu freezing my butt off with the cold wave covering this part of the world. The trip to the Pareij wetlands was a way out trip to read more about the trip. Click the link. Pareij-wetlands-amazing-birding.
To save time and get the best out of our day trip, we hired a local guide Vishal who knows this area extremely well. To contact him, scroll to the end of the page.
I'm posting the birds that I clicked on my trip, hope you enjoy them I certainly enjoyed my trip by clicking these extraordinary birds found here.
The area we visited is big, and to cover most of it would take a few days.
