Very good place for Bird lovers and Bird Photographers
Very good place for bird lovers and bird photographers. it’s a calm peaceful place. All you can hear is birds sounds everywhere - very well maintained - There are benches to sit at many places around the lake to watch birds . The walk way around the lake is very good organized and completely covered with trees so that the birds are not disturbed. Plenty of unique birds to watch at very close range in the lake. If you are bird lover you can spend time all day till 4.30pm. The bird sanctuary close as 4.30 pm. There are few monkeys - better stay away from the monkey’s gang. They are aggressive. Sanitation facility is good. The season ends in March Preferred at least two persons to go. As it sometimes gets very quiet. Need to take water bottles but for eating food better come back to the common area due to monkeys There is a very good common area with sitting facility and kids play area. All vehicles can drive through the main gate to the secondary gate inside. Plenty of parking at the secondary gate. Good for families for one day outing as there is plenty of area at the secondary gate . There is no restaurant around this area till the main highway. Only a small shop is available at the secondary gate.

Birds Paradise
If you are a bird lover then this place is a must to visit. I was here for Tirumala visit and I had put up in Tirupati. Hired a cab and reached the sanctuary in 2hours. I was lucky there was not a single visitor in the sanctuary. I visited on a weekday considering it’s covid I preferred a weekday to avoid crowd. They charged me 250 rupees which is very nominal (I had a camera). There are guides available incase you need. Birds spotted Pelicans, open bill storks, Black headed ibis, Ducks. March is the time when most of the birds leave the sanctuary.. the guide informed peak times is Oct -Feb. during November we can also spot few endangered species. I spent approx 3hrs exploring the sanctuary. Looking forward for my next visit in November

Breeding place for Migratory birds
A beautiful a place to vist if you are a nature lover. Very friendly and knowledgeable staffs and guides. You will find more than 20 species of migratory birds nesting hear. These birds come during September/October and leave by March. The Main view point is approximately 1 km from the inner car parking area. There is multiple view points throughout the walkway with ample space to sit and spend your time with the birds. Timing is 8/9 am to 4 pm. Also there is an Environmental Education Center where you can get all the details about the birds. Very good area to visit with kids and elderly, but please maintain silence and don't disturb the birds (they are in the nature and we all are the outsiders)

A great place for birders
We went towards the middle of feb and there were plenty of birds. Very well maintained. You must take your binoculars or zoom lens otherwise it’s difficult to see much. Very peaceful and clean place. We spotted lots of cormorants, storks, spoon bills etc.
