Nal Sarovar

Continued from previous post on LRK

The initial excitement of spotting the wild-ass had worn off and by mid-morning, the heat became almost unbearable. The sun shone blindingly bright and made photography difficult. Head and eye protection against the sun is recommended, as a trip to the mudflats also involves walking over long distances.

Nal Sarvovar
 
It is possible to visit Nal Sarvovar on the same day after LRK, if you have a vehicle at your disposal. February is the best time of the year to visit this large lake with clear fresh water. 

The lake is spread over 120 square kilometers and has a maximum depth of 1.5 meters. It is densely covered with reeds and under water vegetation, making it an ideal nesting location for an extremely large number of migratory birds.
 
Boats are available on hire throughout the day and charged on hourly basis.
