Geography & terrain

Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary lies in the Gurugram district of Haryana, 15 km from Gurugram and 45 km from Delhi — the wetland park of the region, its 250 species, the migratory winter and the towers set on the Najafgarh plain.

History & culture

The park's story runs with the 1971 creation era — the wetland park of the 250 species and the 1971-era creation of the bird protection life, with the park's modern role as the birding stop of the Delhi circuit and the home of the migratory geese and the 1970s-era towers and the 2010s-era trails; the park's history of the 2019 Ramsar talks and the winter arrivals, gives Sultanpur its wetland character.
