The Majestic Demoiselle Cranes – A Natural Wonder of Khichan
Khichan, a quaint village in Rajasthan, has been forever changed by the arrival of the Demoiselle cranes, locally known as Birds. These graceful birds have literally transformed the landscape, making Khichan a renowned destination for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts. Every year, between October and March, thousands of Demoiselle cranes migrate to Khichan during the winter months, creating a spectacular sight that draws visitors from all over the world.
Recognized as one of the best places in India to witness these elegant creatures, Khichan offers a unique opportunity to see the Demoiselle cranes in their natural habitat. The best time for birdwatching is early morning, between 6 AM and 9 AM, when the cranes gather at the water ponds and feeding areas. Their synchronized movements and serene presence against the backdrop of the Rajasthani desert are a sight to behold.
