What makes Uttar Pradesh a birder's paradise? Is it the fact that the state has the advantage of being the largest in the country? Or the fact that rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, Tapti and Gandak cover the longest distance in the state, which also means numerous wetlands and oxbow lakes? It's actually both of these. Uttar Pradesh enjoys one of the best-suited geographical features in the country, making it a perfect host to 500 species of birds, migratory and resident. Here listed are 10 of the state's 27 bird sanctuaries.
