About this location
Tucked into Greater Noida's rapidly urbanising fringe, Surajpur is a compact reed-and-water wetland that punches well above its size — a breeding ground for sarus cranes within an hour of Delhi. It's become one of NCR's most reliable weekend birding spots precisely because it proves a wetland this small can still support serious biodiversity if it's protected.
