Khaparwas Wildlife Sanctuary
Jhajjar, Haryana, India
Khaparwas Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area that plays a vital role in the ecological corridor of the Sahibi River. Covering 82.7 hectares, it was officially declared a sanctuary in January 1987. It is situated very close to the Bhindawas Bird Sanctuary, yet it offers a much quieter and more s ecluded experience. The sanctuary is characterized by its freshwater lake, which is fed by rainwater and the JLN Feeder Canal. It acts as a secondary home for many migratory birds that find the larger Bhindawas too crowded. The dense vegetation consisting of Kikar and Shisham trees provides an ideal environment for breeding and nesting. It is a preferred spot for serious birdwatchers who wish to observe avian behavior in silence. Common sightings include the Crested Lark, White-throated Kingfisher, and various raptors. The sanctuary is also important for its role in maintaining the local groundwater table. Unlike commercial tourist spots, Khaparwas remains untouched by heavy tourism, preserving its raw natural beauty. The sanctuary's proximity to the Aravalli Hills makes it a part of a larger wildlife movement path. During the winter, the water surface is often covered with lotus leaves and ducks, creating a picturesque scene. It is a sanctuary for those who seek solitude and want to escape the hustle of city life.
