Birding at Sitamata Wild Life Sanctuary, Udaipur

On Saturday 29th June 2013, we, me, Mr. Durgesh Sharma, Anil Rodgers and Mr. Saket Sarupriya went to Aram Pura, Sitamata Wild Life Sanctuary, in order to see Flying Squirrel. Unfortunately, we could not see Flying Squirrel as we arrived little late and they did not come out in the late evening.

To reach Aram Pura from Udaipur, we took right turn from through Menar Village and then proceeded to Bhinder. From Bhinder, we reached Banshi and reached Sitamata Sanctuary. Aram Pura is on the main state Highway only. We stayed a the night at Forest Rest House.
