Madhavpur Ghed Wetland

Madhavpur Ghed Wetland is a coastal estuarine wetland located near Madhavpur village on the border of Porbandar and Junagadh districts in Gujarat. Situated adjacent to Madhavpur Beach along the Arabian Sea, it forms part of the Ghed region's low-lying coastal plain. The wetland is notable for its brackish water ecosystem, seasonal waterlogging, and as a habitat for resident and migratory birds, making it a significant natural attraction for nature and birdwatching visitors.

Visitors can expect a flat coastal wetland landscape with shallow water bodies, marshy patches, mudflats and surrounding agricultural fields near the Arabian Sea coast. The area offers open views of water and sky, seasonal bird activity, and quiet natural surroundings adjacent to Madhavpur Beach. There are no major built structures within the wetland itself; exploration is along earthen tracks and bunds. Birdwatching, photography and nature observation are the primary experiences.

Madhavpur village adjoining the wetland is traditionally associated with the legend of Lord Krishna and Rukmini and hosts the annual Madhavpur Mela at the Madhavrai Temple. The Ghed region surrounding the wetland has long been an agricultural and coastal cultural landscape of Saurashtra.
