Spotting exotic birds in their habitat was awesome - Awesome weekend outback from Delhi. Operator was helpful in picking us up from our hotel. The moment we entered the forest, the chirping of birds was everywhere, spotting a scooped owl was really awesome

perfect birding destination "Sultanpur" - A Perfect all seasons birding destination to see so many beautiful birds. The host "Jai"guides was excellent and really dedicated about the birding experience. He was in touch through whatsapp all the time and ensured a hassled free pickup and further arranged the forest visit in his comfortable car.

Great Birding - Great place to see lots of birds. It’s only a short drive outside of New Delhi. You can easily do in half a day but can certainly be entertained longer if you’re into birding. A scope would be helpful. We were there at the end of March and there were still lots of migratory birds to be seen. The walk around the lake is level and well maintained. Our guide, Jai was so knowledgeable about birds and made the day trip extra special. Jai had a special surprise for us on the drive back to hotel… he stopped to feed some monkeys. The day was really a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!

Surprisingly close to a mega city, a birding heaven - Surprisingly close to a mega city, a birding heaven. Just 2 hours from our hotel in Delhi, we entered into another world full of surprises. Birds of exotic species nesting around and making the whole forest abuzz with their sounds. The lakes and the views were astounding . We were ably accompanied by Mr Jai Singh whose knowledge about birds is also amazing and he enabled us to explore the forest fully.

Sketchy at best - I booked this tour on my ONE free day in Delhi. I had to contact them the day before to arrange info. The guy asked me for a photo so he could quickly identify me. Two hours later, he cancelled the trip with no notice, warning, or reason. Sketchy
