Situated in the eastern part of the Indian state of Rajasthan, Bharatpur is a bustling little town known for its UNESCO-listed Keoladeo National Park, which is one of the world’s most impressive bird sanctuaries, featuring over 400 species of waterbird. While the park is undoubtedly the main attraction, the city itself boasts several historical monuments. Chief among these is the 18th-century Lohagarh Fort, which is surrounded by a moat and contains the Government Museum, showcasing countless artefacts of local rajas. Other must-see sights include the Bharatpur Royal Palace, designed using a combination of the Mughal and Rajput architectural styles with magnificent apartments and intricately designed floor tiles.
