Bish Hazari Lake lies just 5 km south from the city center (Chaubishkothi) of Bharatpur. The first reason to call it Bish Hajar is: there are lots of small and big lakes and its counting is too much, more than thousand so it is called 20,000 Lake. Another reason to call it Bish Hajari is when we see the lake from the sky, the shape of the lake is like 20,000. Different birds migrate to Bish Hajar Taal from the Northern Pole of the earth in search of Suitable environment. In winter the Northern poles are very cold and to escape from the massive cold, birds migrate to Bish Hajari Taal.
