Lumbini Crane Sanctuary, Lumbini Overview
The wetlands and grasslands on the edge of Lumbini are a designated sanctuary for the sarus crane, the tallest flying bird in the world, which breeds here through the monsoon months. The reedbeds and seasonal ponds also draw storks, egrets and migratory waterfowl. Walk the quieter western paths early in the morning and bring binoculars, as the birds keep their distance.
This crane sanctuary aims at protecting the endangered Sarus Cranes in and around the wetlands of this area by creating a local community for their protection and to restore their natural habitat while creating an education facility around this conversation. It is believed that Gautam Buddha fought for the preservation of this bird, around 2500 years ago, and the Lumbini Crane Sanctuary wishes to continue his noble mission.Along with the Sarus Cranes, one may get a chance to see the antelope-like blue bull. Hence, for those who are interested in Buddhism or wildlife conservation, must visit this attraction.
