Lakh Bahosi Bird Sanctuary

Lakh Bahosi Bird Sanctuary is a protected wetland bird sanctuary located near Lakh and Bahosi villages in Kannauj district, Uttar Pradesh. Spread over about 80 square kilometres, it comprises two shallow oxbow lakes, Lakh and Bahosi, connected by marshland. Notified in 1988, it is one of Uttar Pradesh's largest bird sanctuaries and an important wintering ground for migratory birds, hosting thousands of waterfowl and resident species each year.

Visitors can expect two large shallow lakes and surrounding marshland and agricultural fields in a quiet rural setting. The sanctuary offers open water, reed beds and mudflats where resident and migratory waterbirds congregate. A watchtower and earthen trails allow birdwatching and photography. There are no major built structures inside, and the experience is focused on nature observation, especially during the winter migratory season.

Notified as a Bird Sanctuary in 1988 by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The sanctuary protects two natural oxbow lakes, Lakh and Bahosi, formed by the changing course of rivers in the Indo-Gangetic plain. It has traditionally served as a seasonal habitat for migratory waterfowl and was declared protected to conserve its wetland ecosystem and avian diversity.
