Well this road trip was more of a 'recce' before the actual trip to Pariej and surroundings. Kheda besides many other things is known for its wetlands. If your a birder who also photographs that too from the comfort of your car, this is the place you should be. The Majestic Sarus a bird who stands to a height of 5.9 ft can make a most of vertically challenged run for cover. Besides Bharatpur if one wants to get some good shots of these guys just get lost on one of roads in Kheda and you will surely sight these tall Beauties. Gujarat has had a good share of monsoon this year as noticed by an expert from the field. Bronze winged Jacana, Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Black Breasted Weaver, Yellow Bittern, Openbilled Stork, Black Headed white ibis not to forget the Bravest Purple Heron we encountered. Long story short Kheda-Khabhat is an important route if you are a serious birder (I dont need to tell it to them) or a tourist who wants to see Birds. Pun intented.

Going further towards Khambhat might not be a good thing for your back. The road is not at its best condition. Trust me once you are there you will feel that you have discovered Gujarat's version of God's own country.
