Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary

Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary, Narendrapur

December 2025

Amidst all the bustles of Kolkata, lies a piece of dense forest near Narendrapur. Earlier known as 'Kayaler Bagan' (Kayal's Garden), the area was acquired by the Govt. of West Bengal in 2005 from the private owners. 

The place was initially named as "The Narendrapur Wildlife Sanctuary". Later the government renamed it to "Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary" to honour the famous sculptor and Padmabhushan awardee Shri Chintamoni Kar who, along with other local people, fought to obtain the wildlife sanctuary status for the then 'Kayaler Bagan'.

The Sanctuary is about 17 acres in area and is a home for a variety of trees and birds.

How to reach?

If one goes from EM Bypass by car, the sanctuary is conveniently located just off the Baruipur bypass near Rajpur. If travelling from Garia main road , nearest bust stop is Rajpur Kalitala.
