The production of chicks during the breeding season is put at about 30,000. This avian kingdom also hosts mammalian species like nilgai, sambhar, chital, black bucks, jungle cat and the wild boar. However, spotting a duel between the two is purely a matter of chance. The mode of transport for getting around the sanctuary is a bicycle. Cycle-rickshaws may also be hired.
Boats are available for hire from the ticket checkpoint.
Boating is an excellent idea for getting around the Keoladeo Lake and observing the birds at close quarters. The nearest rail junction is Bharatpur, which is well connected to Delhi, Bombay, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and many other parts of India. Private as well as state transport buses link Bharatpur with other parts of Rajasthan. Most tourists plan daylong trips to Bharatpur. However, there is good accommodation available at the Bharatpur Forest Lodge, Forest Guesthouse and Saras Tourist Bungalow.
