Karnala Bird Sanctuary Trek Overview

Trekking Location: Karnala Bird Sanctuary.
Pickup time: 6 AM.
Drop time: 8 PM. 

Karnala bird sanctuary is located in Panvel Taluka, Raigad and surrounds Karnala Fort. The sanctuary is quite small with an area of 12.11 Square Kilometers and is home to over 150 species of resident and 27 species of migratory birds which visit the sanctuary during the winters. 

Three rare birds, the ashy minivet, three-toed kingfisher, and Malabar trogon have been sighted here. The Karnala fort is located on the top of the hill in the sanctuary and it is about a 1-hour trek to the fort.

During the monsoons, you can see songbirds like the paradise flycatcher, magpie robin, and the Malabar whistling thrush. There is also the racket-tailed drongo that can be seen. The best time to see migratory birds at the sanctuary is between the months of October and April. 
Although this trip starts from Pune, those who want to join directly from the sanctuary can also do so. Don’t forget to mention it prior to starting the trip.
