Bird watchers' global meet - Khijadia
The three-day 'Global Bird Watcher's Conference' will be held in Khijadia from November 25. About 100 participants from abroad and different parts of the state are expected to attend the conference.
Officials in the tourism department said that the conference was being planned in order to put Khijadia on the global map to make it a tourist attraction. Also, the conference will be held during that time of the year when migratory birds are found in large numbers.
Khijadia is the only place where fresh water and sea water is found. It also witnesses about 250 different species of bird flocking here every year.
While tourism department officials said Khijadia falls on way to Dwarka and is just 15 km away from Jamnagar and so this route which is in bad shape will be repaired soon.
