The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water. Its calm surroundings and gentle breeze make it a favored spot for picnics\, photography\, and slow-paced moments by the lakeside. During winter\, the water levels and migratory season add to the dam’s beauty\, attracting more visitors who enjoy its soothing natural ambiance and open skies. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitats around Kaliyasot Reservoir\, including wetlands\, grasslands\, and scattered trees\, support a rich diversity of wildlife. Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation. Efforts to maintain the natural charm and keep the area clean are crucial\, as it serves not only as a recreational destination but also as an ecological resource for Bhopal. With its blend of tranquility and biodiversity\, Kaliyasot Reservoir stands as a reminder of how urban spaces can coexist harmoniously with nature when nurtured and appreciated. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ankit MalviyaHe is a naturalist\, bird guide\, wildlife photographer from Bhopal. Birding since last 7 years and loves to share exciting bird stories and knowledge with everyone.  				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Kaliyasot Reservoir				\n				\n				\n				\n									Kaliyasot Reservoir is home to a wonderful blend of wetland and woodland birds\, offering birdwatchers an exciting variety throughout the year. Along the water’s edge\, Indian Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Cattle Egrets\, and Little Cormorants are regular sights\, while Spot-billed Ducks paddle across the calm surface. The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding. Together\, these species make Kaliyasot Reservoir a vibrant hotspot and a cherished site for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts in Bhopal. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eastern Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Woodshrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									A bird walk at Kaliyasota Reservoir was organized in collaboration with MP Tourism and led by Ankit Malviya\, with 18 participants joining the sunny-day exploration of this diverse wetland and grassland habitat. The walk offered excellent birding opportunities\, with participants actively observing and learning about birds across open water\, grassy patches\, and shoreline areas. A rich variety of species was recorded\, including River Tern\, Little Tern\, Spot-billed Duck\, Ruddy Shelduck\, Red-crested Pochard\, Little Ringed Plover\, Wood and Marsh Sandpipers\, and Black-winged Stilt\, highlighting the reservoir’s importance for waterbirds. The group also spotted multiple wagtails\, larks\, swallows\, kingfishers\, and raptors such as Black-winged Kite\, along with larger wetland birds like Woolly-necked Stork\, Asian Open-billed Stork\, and Grey Heron. In total\, 32 bird species were recorded during the walk\, and participants thoroughly enjoyed the clear weather\, varied habitats\, and the opportunity to deepen their understanding of wetland birdlife at Kaliyasota Reservoir.\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water. Its calm surroundings and gentle breeze make it a favored spot for picnics\, photography\, and slow-paced moments by the lakeside. During winter\, the water levels and migratory season add to the dam’s beauty\, attracting more visitors who enjoy its soothing natural ambiance and open skies. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitats around Kaliyasot Reservoir\, including wetlands\, grasslands\, and scattered trees\, support a rich diversity of wildlife. Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation. Efforts to maintain the natural charm and keep the area clean are crucial\, as it serves not only as a recreational destination but also as an ecological resource for Bhopal. With its blend of tranquility and biodiversity\, Kaliyasot Reservoir stands as a reminder of how urban spaces can coexist harmoniously with nature when nurtured and appreciated. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ankit MalviyaHe is a naturalist\, bird guide\, wildlife photographer from Bhopal.

Along the water’s edge\, Indian Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Cattle Egrets\, and Little Cormorants are regular sights\, while Spot-billed Ducks paddle across the calm surface. The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding. Together\, these species make Kaliyasot Reservoir a vibrant hotspot and a cherished site for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts in Bhopal. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eastern Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Woodshrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									A bird walk at Kaliyasota Reservoir was organized in collaboration with MP Tourism and led by Ankit Malviya\, with 18 participants joining the sunny-day exploration of this diverse wetland and grassland habitat.

A rich variety of species was recorded\, including River Tern\, Little Tern\, Spot-billed Duck\, Ruddy Shelduck\, Red-crested Pochard\, Little Ringed Plover\, Wood and Marsh Sandpipers\, and Black-winged Stilt\, highlighting the reservoir’s importance for waterbirds. The group also spotted multiple wagtails\, larks\, swallows\, kingfishers\, and raptors such as Black-winged Kite\, along with larger wetland birds like Woolly-necked Stork\, Asian Open-billed Stork\, and Grey Heron. In total\, 32 bird species were recorded during the walk\, and participants thoroughly enjoyed the clear weather\, varied habitats\, and the opportunity to deepen their understanding of wetland birdlife at Kaliyasota Reservoir.\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water. Its calm surroundings and gentle breeze make it a favored spot for picnics\, photography\, and slow-paced moments by the lakeside. During winter\, the water levels and migratory season add to the dam’s beauty\, attracting more visitors who enjoy its soothing natural ambiance and open skies. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitats around Kaliyasot Reservoir\, including wetlands\, grasslands\, and scattered trees\, support a rich diversity of wildlife. Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation. Efforts to maintain the natural charm and keep the area clean are crucial\, as it serves not only as a recreational destination but also as an ecological resource for Bhopal.

The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding.

The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water. Its calm surroundings and gentle breeze make it a favored spot for picnics\, photography\, and slow-paced moments by the lakeside. During winter\, the water levels and migratory season add to the dam’s beauty\, attracting more visitors who enjoy its soothing natural ambiance and open skies. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitats around Kaliyasot Reservoir\, including wetlands\, grasslands\, and scattered trees\, support a rich diversity of wildlife. Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation. Efforts to maintain the natural charm and keep the area clean are crucial\, as it serves not only as a recreational destination but also as an ecological resource for Bhopal. With its blend of tranquility and biodiversity\, Kaliyasot Reservoir stands as a reminder of how urban spaces can coexist harmoniously with nature when nurtured and appreciated. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ankit MalviyaHe is a naturalist\, bird guide\, wildlife photographer from Bhopal.

Along the water’s edge\, Indian Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Cattle Egrets\, and Little Cormorants are regular sights\, while Spot-billed Ducks paddle across the calm surface. The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding. Together\, these species make Kaliyasot Reservoir a vibrant hotspot and a cherished site for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts in Bhopal. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eastern Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Woodshrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									A bird walk at Kaliyasota Reservoir was organized in collaboration with MP Tourism and led by Ankit Malviya\, with 18 participants joining the sunny-day exploration of this diverse wetland and grassland habitat.
