Chandigarh birds

Chandigarh ’ The City Beautiful’ has  more than 300 bird species . Sukhna Lake , its catchment area and Sukhna Wild Life Sanctuary , provides a well maintained habitat to resident as well as migratory birds, besides Mirzapur Dam in the North West , only half an hour drive from Chandigarh and Berwala on way to Morni Hills are really havens for the bird watchers.

Mandna near Morni hills (16-18 km fromPanchkula) is another nice area for  Birding.
