Geography & terrain

Nalsarovar lies in the Ahmedabad district of Gujarat, 65 km from Ahmedabad and 20 km from Sanand — the bird lake of the region, its flamingos, the boat rides and the marshes set on the Nal Sarovar's shallow water.

History & culture

The lake's story runs with the 1969 bird sanctuary — the Nalsarovar of the 1969 sanctuary and the Ramsar wetland of the 2012 listing, with the lake's modern role as the birding stop of the Gujarat circuit and the home of the winter's flamingo and the pelican arrivals; the lake's history of the seasonal reeds and the 120 resident species and the migratory geese, gives Nalsarovar its bird-lake character.
