Accès

Located just off the Ganga Barrage, the Haiderpur wetland has 15 km of walking trail. Visitors can rent a bicycle and ride along the entire trail. Trash bins and viewing huts/platforms have been put up at every half kilometre. A shorter trail that ends in a double-storied watchtower – which offers a view of a majority of the wetland, is also an option. There's a basic toilet facility at the entrance, where tickets need to be purchased. It is not possible to take boats into the wetlands - you can only view the wetland from the walking paths. Best time for birding is in winter and spring.
