The waters have been tested and found to be of pure quality. Sunbathing decks are available.

A vast library above the drawing room offers many opportunities for reading during your stay.
Shaheen Bagh and its surroundings are a haven for birdwatchers, visited by over 370 listed species. These include the Brown Dipper, three different forktails and the five species of sunbirds. Many of these can be seen in the walks around the house and at the river -- a 5-minute walk from the grounds. The recently discovered Nepal Wren-babbler breeds in the gardens.
