Located in Greater Noida\, Uttar Pradesh\, this freshwater wetland is surrounded by marshes\, shallow lakes\, reed beds\, grasslands\, scrub vegetation\, and patches of woodland\, creating a rich mosaic of habitats that support an extraordinary diversity of wildlife. The sanctuary serves as a crucial refuge for both resident and migratory birds\, attracting thousands of waterbirds during the winter while remaining active with breeding species throughout the year.

Mudflats and shallow pools attract elegant Black-winged Stilts\, Pied Avocets\, and Red-wattled Lapwings\, providing excellent opportunities to observe feeding behaviour up close. One of the sanctuary’s biggest highlights is the large congregation of Asian Openbills\, often seen foraging alongside Black-headed Ibises\, Oriental Darters\, Little Cormorants\, Little Egrets\, and Indian Pond-Herons.
