Welcome to Jorbeer Reserve
Located near Bikaner in the heart of Rajasthan, Jorbeer Reserve is a sanctuary like no other — a unique ecosystem where nature, wildlife, and conservation efforts come together. Famous for its vast congregation of raptors, especially vultures, Jorbeer offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the delicate balance of life and death that sustains the natural world.

Today, it stands as one of India’s most important raptor-watching destinations, drawing bird watchers, researchers, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts from across the globe.
At Jorbeer Reserve, you will experience
- Majestic flocks of migratory and resident birds
