The best way to see the park is to either take a Rickshaw or hire a bike if you love cycling. I went to the park three times back to back and tried both the options. Some of the rickshaw walas have very good knowledge about the birds, better than the guides too. If you planning to take a rickshaw, I would definitely recommend Mr Pritam Singh. He has vast knowledge of birds and the park. With him around you don't even need a guide. He has even been featured in few international magazines too. All the rickshaws have been given a serial number and his Serial no is 1, no doubt he deserves it!!! You can call him and book him in advance. He will come to your hotel to pick you up. So there's no need to take your vehicle to the park. His contact number is +91 9660167389
