★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a nice get away from city hussle. Nice place in the center of city. It's a wildlife sanctuary, we often visit for birding. Lot of migratory birds visit this place. It also has few tracks through which one can enjoy the pure nature and take some rest. Often trekking is conducted by different groups on Sundays. It's a nice place for trekkers. It does have some recreational facilities and adventurous things for kids. People often throng this place during winter. There are two water bodies where lot of birding activity takes place. It is very well connected to the city. If one needs to connect with nature this that place. One can find lot of biodiversity here.
