Summary:

A partially-broken signboard welcomes you to Berwala Bird Safari, started in Khol-Hi-Raitan Wildlife Sanctuary of Morni in 2004. Conservator of Forest, Wildlife, Panchkula, R L Rajwanshi, says apart from upgrading the infrastructure, they had advertised the Berwala Bird Safari in many newspapers and magazines inviting visitors. In 2017, Panchkula wildlife department had cleaned up and redid the two trails – originally made in 2005 – at a cost of Rs 4 lakh. AdvertisingDespite doing up the infrastructure and publicity at Berwala Bird Safari, situated down slope near a seasonal rivulet between Panchkula and Morni link road, forest officials have conceded that the project has failed to attract visitors. In fact, we contacted birders also to do bird census in the safari, but did not receive any response..
