Embark on an unforgettable birding journey through the Himalayan foothills and terai forests, where some of India’s most sought-after avian treasures thrive. Stretching across north-western to north-eastern India, the mighty Himalayan range covers over 7.2% of the country’s landmass and shelters a diverse array of biomes. This region is home to 18 of the world’s 49 pheasant species, including the spectacular Monal, Koklass, Kalij, Satyr and Blyth’s Tragopans, and the elusive Cheer and Blood Pheasants. Other remarkable sightings include the enigmatic Ibisbill along with a vibrant variety of forest and wetland birds.
On this expedition, you will explore celebrated landscapes like Dudhwa’s terai grasslands, the misty ridges of Nainital, and the iconic Corbett National Park with its famed Dhikala zone.
