Bharatpur
The walled town of BHARATPUR is just a stone's throw from the border with Uttar Pradesh, 150km east of Jaipur, and a mere 18km from the magnificent abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri. The town itself has an interesting mix of traditional bazaars, temples, mosques, palaces and a massive fort, but the real reason to come here is to visit India's most famous bird sanctuary, the Keoladeo National Park, on the town's southern edge, one of India's, if not the world's, top ornithological destinations. There are no independent restaurants in Bharatpur. Most people eat where they're staying.
