Sultanpur National Park

Sultanpur National Park is a protected wetland and bird sanctuary located in Sultanpur village, Gurugram district, Haryana, about 15 km from Gurugram city. Originally declared a bird sanctuary in 1971 and upgraded to a national park in 1991, it covers about 1.43 sq km around Sultanpur Lake. Notable for seasonal migratory birds, resident avifauna, and wetland ecosystem, it is a popular birdwatching and nature education destination near Delhi NCR.

Visitors can expect a small wetland park centered on Sultanpur Lake with shallow water, marshes, and surrounding scrub and planted trees. Four watchtowers and mounds provide elevated views for birdwatching. Paved and natural trails loop around the lake with interpretation displays and a visitor centre. The environment is quiet and natural, focused on observing resident and migratory birds, photography, and nature walks. Facilities are basic and the experience is primarily outdoors.

Identified as a bird habitat by ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali, declared as Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary in 1971 and subsequently upgraded to a National Park in 1991 by the Government of Haryana. The lake was historically a salt pan that was rejuvenated as a wetland habitat for avifauna.
