From New Delhi Railway Station it is 20 km by road. The nearest stations of Delhi Metro is Okhla Bird Sanctuary metro station on Magenta Line.
The best way to get there is by taxi although my taxi driver had never heard of it and didn't know how exactly to get there. Press P on the map for directions to the entrance point. Not a lot of parking spaces nearby and it's next to the main road so be careful when being dropped off. Entry Fee Per Person is 350 Rs for local, however tourist pay at least twice as much if not more (2024). The sanctuary is open from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM during the summer and 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM in the winter.
