Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary
Asola Bhati Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful biodiversity zone located in the southern district of Delhi near Karni Singh Shooting Range. The sanctuary is part of the Southern Ridge and holds great biodiversity significance due to its merger with Indo-Gangetic plains. It is also a vital part of the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor that starts from the Sariska National Park in Rajasthan, passing through various districts of Haryana and finally meeting at the Delhi Ridge. Moreover, it also acts as a carbon sink for the national capital region.It is a perfect destination for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. The sanctuary is currently under Conservation Education Centre (CEC) Delhi. They are actively working on imparting conservation education to students and professionals through field-based educational programmes. I visited Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary in September 2021 for the first time to attend a butterfly walk and was awe-struck by its untouched beauty. The sanctuary shares its border with areas infamous for mugging and looting activities. The Butterfly Park and cycling trails are safe to visit. However, if you wish to explore the Neeli Jheel, travel in a larger group or request for a Govt assigned ranger to tag along.Best time to visit the sanctuaryIf you are visiting the sanctuary for birding, early morning is the best time to spot birds. Whereas, if you are visiting for butterflies, bees and dragonflies, noon is when you’ll get the maximum sighting.How to reach, ticket and timing.Tughlakhabad and Saket are the closest metro station. However, a cab or an auto is a must to reach the sanctuary from either of the stations. You can also travel by bus. The closest stop is Tughlakabad Fort, from there you can walk to the main gate. If you wish to visit the lake, I recommend getting your vehicle as the lake is 16kms from the entrance and hard to reach on foot. Timing: 8 am to 5 pmEntry Fee: ₹5 per person for Butterfly Park and its nearby areas, ₹500 per person for the lake

Bhima, one of the five Pandavas killed Hidimb in a fight. Thereafter, Hidimba married Bhima and gave birth to their son Ghatotkacha. As agreed between them Bhima along with his brothers went away from there, it was Hidimba who looked after the kingdom, took great care of the people and brought her son up. Ghatotkacha grew up to be as brave a warrior as his parents. When he attained adulthood, Hidimba gave the reins of the kingdom to him and she left for the forest, where she began meditation on a rock seeking penance for her sins. Her prayers were answered by Goddess Durga, who blessed her to become a goddess. Since those times, Hidimba Devi is worshipped as a deity.Architectural splendourStepping into the Hidimba Devi Temple is akin to entering a realm where craftsmanship meets divinity.
