Khaparwas Wildlife Sanctuary

Khaparwas Wildlife Sanctuary is a small protected wetland sanctuary near Khaparwas village in Jhajjar district, Haryana, about 80 km west of Delhi. Notified in 1991 and covering 82.70 hectares, it centers on a seasonal lake that attracts numerous resident and migratory birds. Known for its avian diversity and tranquil natural setting, it forms an important ecological complement to the nearby Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary and offers birdwatching and nature observation.

Visitors can expect a small, tranquil wetland landscape centered on a shallow seasonal lake surrounded by open scrub and agricultural fields. The sanctuary is primarily visited for birdwatching, with opportunities to see resident and winter migratory waterbirds from earthen bunds and open areas around the lake. Facilities are minimal and the experience is low-key nature observation, photography and quiet walks in a rural setting near Jhajjar.

Notified as a Wildlife Sanctuary by the Government of Haryana in 1991, covering an area of 82.70 hectares around the Khaparwas lake. The sanctuary was established to protect the wetland habitat and its avian fauna, particularly migratory waterbirds visiting the region in winter.
