The Educational Interpretation Centre has been established here to offer proper guidance to the tourist visiting the place. The Tourist Complex built in the Park has elegant rooms equipped with all modern amenities, a restaurant and a bar.

In winter, the sanctuary provides a picturesque panorama of migratory birds and even in summer, some species of migratory birds come here. Birds like common hoopoe, common spoonbill and many others   permanently inhabit the bird sanctuary. This sanctuary is also home to spot bill, painted stork, black-headed Ibis and many other rare species.
