The ideal time to experience the vibrant avian life at Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary is during the cooler months, from November to February. During this period, the weather in Gujarat is pleasant and conducive to outdoor activities, with temperatures ranging between 10°C and 25°C. Moreover, these months coincide with the migratory season when thousands of birds from the northern hemisphere flock to the sanctuary to escape the harsh winters of their native habitats.
Visitors in this season can witness a plethora of bird species in their most active state, engaging in feeding, nesting, or flying across the wetland, offering a wonderful spectacle for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. Early mornings just after sunrise are typically the best time of the day to visit for birding, as this is when birds are most lively and visible. To make the most out of your visit, ensure to carry binoculars and a camera with a good zoom lens to capture the beauty of the sanctuary's inhabitants from a safe and respectful distance.
