Spread across rocky terrain and gentle slopes\, the area is dominated by dry deciduous vegetation\, native grasses\, and scattered water bodies that come alive during and after the monsoon. Indigenous flora such as dhok\, acacia\, and hardy shrubs support a resilient ecosystem\, attracting insects\, reptiles\, and a surprising diversity of birds. The landscape offers a mix of open scrub\, woodland patches\, and wetland edges—making it a dynamic habitat for wildlife and a refreshing escape for nature lovers within the city. \n \n \n \n Smriti Van is also a rewarding birding destination\, where urban-adapted species coexist with grassland and woodland specialists. However\, like many urban green spaces\, it faces challenges such as habitat disturbance\, invasive plant species\, and increasing human pressure. Conservation here depends on maintaining native vegetation\, protecting water sources\, and encouraging responsible visitation. As a restored ecological space\, Smriti Van is a reminder of how cities can reclaim and nurture biodiversity—if managed with care and awareness. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Partnered with \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide - Punit MehtaWith sixteen years of birding across India\, he has recorded more than 600 bird species.

Peafowl stride confidently through the scrub\, while francolins and lapwings call out from the open terrain. Parakeets\, barbets\, and hornbills animate the treetops\, and drongos and shrikes keep a watchful eye from exposed perches. Near water bodies\, moorhens and waterhens add a wetland touch\, while bee-eaters flash vibrant greens against the earthy tones of the habitat. From the chatter of babblers to the melodic notes of the golden oriole\, Smriti Van offers a birding experience that is both diverse and deeply rooted in the character of Rajasthan’s natural heritage. \n \n \n \n \n Indian Peafowl \n \n \n \n Eurasian Collared Dove \n \n \n \n Grey Francolin \n \n \n \n Asian Pied Starling \n \n \n \n Common Moorhen \n \n \n \n White-Breasted Waterhen \n \n \n \n Red-Wattled Lapwing \n \n \n \n Asian Green Bee-Eater \n \n \n \n Spotted Owlet \n \n \n \n Indian Grey Hornbill \n \n \n \n Common Myna \n \n \n \n House Crow \n \n \n \n Coppersmith Barbet \n \n \n \n Rose-Ringed Parakeet \n \n \n \n Indian Golden Oriole \n \n \n \n Black Drongo \n \n \n \n Long-Tailed Shrike \n \n \n \n Jungle Babbler \n \n \n \n Indian Robin \n \n \n \n Brahminy Starling \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summary of Walk \n \n \n \n The bird walk at Smriti Van saw 15 participants exploring a well-developed urban forest known for its ecological restoration and biodiversity.

Spread across rocky terrain and gentle slopes\, the area is dominated by dry deciduous vegetation\, native grasses\, and scattered water bodies that come alive during and after the monsoon. Indigenous flora such as dhok\, acacia\, and hardy shrubs support a resilient ecosystem\, attracting insects\, reptiles\, and a surprising diversity of birds. The landscape offers a mix of open scrub\, woodland patches\, and wetland edges—making it a dynamic habitat for wildlife and a refreshing escape for nature lovers within the city. \n \n \n \n Smriti Van is also a rewarding birding destination\, where urban-adapted species coexist with grassland and woodland specialists. However\, like many urban green spaces\, it faces challenges such as habitat disturbance\, invasive plant species\, and increasing human pressure. Conservation here depends on maintaining native vegetation\, protecting water sources\, and encouraging responsible visitation. As a restored ecological space\, Smriti Van is a reminder of how cities can reclaim and nurture biodiversity—if managed with care and awareness. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Partnered with \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide - Punit MehtaWith sixteen years of birding across India\, he has recorded more than 600 bird species.
