About Lakh Bahosi Bird Sanctuary
Two shallow lakes, Lakh and Bahosi, forming one of the larger bird sanctuaries in the country by area, notified in 1988. Winter brings greylag and bar-headed geese, pintail, shoveler and coot in numbers, with sarus, painted storks and open-billed storks around all year. About 40 km from Kannauj; take your own food, there is nothing there.
