Great spot for a start to the day, especially if you love nature. Feeding time on the net says 9-10am but I think they move it to 10-11am in winter. We arrived at 9am and the birds were still mostly sleeping. Try taking a few pics through the telescope for some extra effect.

Viewing Hide 2: Excellent congregation of a pat of flamingos right in front of the hide! Wonderful experience for all - clean toilets and facilities. Limited parking.

Fridays and Saturdays are closed. Other days opens at 07:30. Currently only one observation hut is open. Others said under construction. No permit is given to walk around the lake. You can just go to the observation area and thats it. Only flamingos and some black-winged stilts, not much to see actually from the observation area. If it could be possible to walk around, would be much fun.

Its recommended to go in winter because there are too flys in the summer. Also you can only see the flamingos with a very small room and small windows with one telescope only. The room is not even air conditioned! But its not that bad..

Excellent place for families who love to spent some time with the nature. You can watch flamingos flying and landing πŸ˜€β€. I spent 1 hour here because I was in love with the flaming getting ready for a fly and then the style of landing. Amazing place β€β€β€β€β€β€β€βœŒπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺ❀

Nice place to see flamingos living like in poultry farm... But: THE CAR PARK IS PATHETICALLY SMALL!!! You might need to queue and wait, be prepared. So, better pay your visit before afternoon, better in the morning.

You can see mostly flamingos only, and from inside a post from a distance ( yes...there is a binocular) not worth for a dedicated trip unless its on your way. It will take maximum 30 min for whol trip. Good for those who are interested in photography...and the entrance is free of charge ...

The only chance to see flamingos in their habitat!Free entrance, very limited parking spots in the nearest proximity!The long wooden bridge leads you to a tiny hut where a binocular is present to spot flocks of flamingos!Unfortunately you are not allowed to exit.

Visiting hours is Sunday to Thursday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Drones are not allowed. So u can use DSLR, SLR or mobile camera for capturing the beauty. Pets are a no-no. So is fishing, catching or touching the birds. Due to COVID restrictions, only 5 people are allowed in the viewing area at a time. Follow the COVID protocol and enjoy the location. Winter is the best season to visit the place. U can see various type of migratory birds on winter time. Parking slots are limited.

This is an absolute gem! Go between 9am - 10am and 3pm - 4pm to watch all the flamingos fly and walk closer to the observation house. After 10am and 4pm they feed the flamingos which is something you shouldnt miss! If you have a good camera, dont forget to bring it!

A place to view flamingos and other birds up close. There are 2 observation areas, one can observe the mangroves from cabin 1 and flamingos from cabin 2. Take your own binoculars for a more closer experience, there is one binocular machine on site.You will need to go there in your own personal car, a taxi might get you there but hailing a taxi during return is difficult.A small Serengeti in the midst of a concrete jungle.
