Smallest trekking place in Nagpur of less than 10km (two way) trekking best place to visit and they also have cycle and electric vehicle for commuters

Must visit. Amazing place for walk and cycling during winter morning.

Best place for cycling or walking. Little jungle adventure

I always love to walk in the forest of Ambazari Back water.. We used to go for the birding on the weekend. Environment was Awesome in the winter and rainy season ? Best place for the morning walk.

Nice place ? Cycling road require improvement

A less explored part of Nagpur. Reaching there early morning, just around sunrise is the best time. Though the place is well developed, there is no maintenance. Cycles provided for Rs 50/ are not in good shape. I rode one after 15 years! The huts and seating spaces made are not maintained and grossly neglected. At times I wonder why does this happen to all similar places in Nagpur? They start with a bang and within a year...are in pitiable state.

Ambazari back water and Biodiversity park - The best birding Park very near @ 10km from heart of the city.... As name suggest wide variety and Biodiversity of flora and fauna, birds and animals... The park is open in 2 shifts morning 6am and evening 3 pm. Entry ticket only rs 10. You get bicycles on rent at rs 50..enjoyable to ride bicycle , wander, take photos and observe Biodiversity. Battery operated auto are also available. Parking for 2 and 4 wheelar at nominal cost The best thing is you can carry your bicycle inside at no extra cost.. The park is full of information with photographs and models of birds, animals and trees. One must visit and enjoy the forest feel within city.

I have been enjoying birdwatching and nature walks within the backwater woods and grassland for the last 9 years. It is one of the best destinations in Nagpur for birdwatchers and naturelovers. The backwaters comprise diverse habitats such as swamp, grassland, woods, scrubland, aquatic etc that houses a myriad range of bird and mammal species. Big mammals are absent although recently the forest department has been making claims of a leopard presence, which, personally, I am not very sure of. Earlier this area was free for all. In recent years, the FD has taken over and introduced a chargeable entrance system. I cannot vouch for its efficacy though, as I do not see any improvement in the area except increased traffic of dreadful people who have no respect for nature and wildlife. These people create ruckus and nuisance once inside the sanctuary. There are no Forest guards to stop such people. FD is treating Ambazari as a cash cow only meant to be milked. Except the ticketed entrance, there are no improvement programme done. Cycles on rent are available. FD is trying to introduce a Keoladeo like system here (They have no idea that the two areas are fundamentally different). All the birding hides are lying in shambles. Access to the best birding spots have been closed for birders. Overall, the ambience and atmosphere of Ambazari Bird sanctuary is really good, but improper handling and revenue-generation-drive by FD is causing more harm than any good. Still, for people who are interested in seeing various species of birds and small mammals such as mongoose, squirrels, jungle cats etc, near Nagpur, this is a good place. The Biodiversity parjnremains opn from 6 AM to 5 PM. Cycles availabke at Rs 50. There is vehicle stand near entrance. Entryvticket is only Rs 10 due to which many nonsense kind of people often come in. For more details, please contact.
