A must visit sanctuary....

RANGANATHITTU BIRD SANCTUARY



Located at a distance of 125km from Bangalore, Ranganathittu bird sanctuary is one of the most popular bird sanctuaries in India. It's the right place for everyone willing to take a few clicks and experiment photography in the wild.
The birds out there are simply amazing. There are two options for sight seeing.
1.Common boat share - Rs.50 / head, takes you around the place for 10 mins.
2.Personal boat - Rs.1000 / boat, takes you around the place for an hour and a half.(preferable for all wildlife enthusiasts)

I tried my best to do justice with my camera and I was satisfied with my shots.
Here are a few shots I would like to share with the world.
