Song of the Hills: Uttarakhand Birding Trails
Uttarakhand is one of India’s richest birding destinations, with over 600 species thriving across altitudes that range from Terai grasslands to alpine meadows. From great hornbills in lowland forests to Himalayan monals on high ridges, every layer of the mountains offers new voices. Add in winter migrants, summer breeders, and endemics found only in these valleys, and you have a birdwatcher’s dream—a journey alive with calls, colours, and constant discovery.
Trip Highlights
Signature Moments :
Corbett, Rajaji and the Terai belt host Pallas’s fish eagle, great hornbill, red-headed trogon, and rich waterbird congregations.
Around Sattal, Pangot, and the Dehradun valley, expect laughingthrushes, forktails, sunbirds, and flocks of barbets.
n Chopta and Binsar, look for Himalayan monal, koklass pheasant, ultramarine flycatcher, and lively mixed flocks.
High summer pastures like Dayara and Bedni reveal lammergeiers, snow partridge, golden eagle, rosefinches, and accentors.
alleys fill with thrushes, buntings, and waterfowl in winter; summer brings warblers, flycatchers, and breeding pheasants to the canopy.
Cheer pheasant, white-throated tit, Rufous-bellied niltava, and the elusive Ibisbill along mountain rivers make star sightings.
