Velavadar is known for its unique natural setting and provides an exceptional opportunity to have an amazing experience with wildlife in the grassland ecosystem. It is called "Savanna of India" due to the rich diversity of wildlife it supports, including blackbuck antelope (black buck), wolves, and migratory birds. Some resorts in Velavadar are available close to the Blackbuck National park that let you admire these elegant species. Let’s dig more to learn about the 5 amazing experiences you can enjoy in velavadar.
Exciting Jeep Safari Experience
A jeep safari is a fantastic way to see Velavadar's incredible golden grassland landscape, as the park's open plains are filled with graceful herds of black bucks leaping across the landscape. During sunrise or sunset, wildlife activity is greater, as you'll have a better chance of observing Indian wolves, nilgai, and other animals, without the restricted views of dense forests. Guided Jeep safaris frequently finish with picturesque sunsets, and this provides an immersive experience for guests to appreciate the park's unique ecosystem along the park's many river regions.
Birdwatching Areas
There are few places better for birdwatching than Velavadar, with over 200 species of birds found on the wetlands, including migratory pelicans, painted storks, and eagles. There are southern thorn forests and grassy areas where visitors are able to observe birds in flocks between the months of October and March. On foot, guests are able to get a closer look at ducks and birds of prey, providing opportunities for photographers to capture incredible images of the biodiversity found within Velavadar.
Wolf Spotting Expeditions
Velavadar in India is one of the last wolf habitats and you can witness rare sightings if you are patient enough to go on the dawn patrols in certain grasslands. Wolves prey on blackbucks, which adds excitement to the savanna.
Wolf hotspots combine well with safari experiences for people seeking a high adrenaline thrill during the cooler months of the year.
Sunrise & Sunset Views
Flat horizons in Velavadar provide unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, bathing our grasslands in shades of gold as everything stirs to life on the savanna, while calm evenings offer up stunning and peaceful scenes of tens of thousands of birds as they wing their way back to the wetlands.
Morning excursions allow us to witness the beauty of the sunrise while enjoying lots of animal activity, thus creating an active yet peaceful start to our day.
