Harike Wetland
The Harike National Park, covering an area of 4,100 hectares, was created during the construction of the Harike barrage across the Sutlej River. During winter, several thousands of migratory birds arrive from the Himalayas, Europe, and Siberia, giving it the best time of the year to visit this place. Some of the regular visitors sighted in the national park include the large cormorant, purple moorhen, tufted duck, white-winged tern, bar-headed goose, and the white-eyed pochard. The Harike National Park is also home to various species of snakes, lizards, dolphins, and fish.
