Jorbeer Conservation Reserve
जोड़बीड़ संरक्षण आरक्षित
A suburban animal carcass disposal site that draws hundreds of vultures and raptors, making it one of India's most popular spots for raptor watching.
Jorbeer lies near the Camel Research Centre and was once the city's site for disposing of livestock carcasses. The abundant food draws huge numbers of birds. In winter, you can see griffon vultures, Himalayan griffons, cinereous vultures, white-rumped vultures and several kinds of eagles, with counts reaching several hundred birds, which makes it a destination for birders and photographers. Visitors must register at the entrance. The sights and smells are intense, so go early in the morning and follow a local bird guide.
