About Bhor Saidan Crocodile Breeding Centre
Bhor Saidan Crocodile Breeding Centre is a wildlife conservation facility located in Bhor Saidan village, about 13 km from Kurukshetra in Haryana. Established in 1982 by the Haryana Forest Department, it is dedicated to the breeding and conservation of the mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris). Set amid ponds and natural vegetation near the historic Saraswati riverbed, it houses crocodiles of various ages and serves as an educational and eco-tourism site.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, fenced conservation complex with a series of shallow water ponds and enclosures housing mugger crocodiles of different age groups, from hatchlings to adults. The setting is semi-natural with trees, earthen mounds and water bodies. Visitors walk along designated paths and viewing points to observe crocodiles basking and swimming. Information boards explain breeding and conservation efforts. The site is quiet and low-key, suitable for short sightseeing, photography and nature observation.
