Bandh Baretha is a freshwater man-made wetland and wildlife sanctuary covering an area of 10 square kilometers.

This sanctuary serves as a significant winter resort for migratory birds and plays a crucial role in storing drinking water for the region.

[1][2][3] The sanctuary is situated near the small river Kakund, which enters the south-western border of Bayana tehsil from the Karauli side.

During low rainfall years, the population of water birds increases, making it a large, permanent, and legally protected wetland.

The aquatic vegetation in this sanctuary is similar to that found in Keoladeo National Park, further highlighting its ecological significance.
