Key Birding Areas
in india

With the intense diversity in wildlife species, India has successfully made a natural home for all of them. From 1300 bird chirps, to the mighty Tiger roar, each national park pays homage to these beautiful beings, in its own little way. Listed below are a few parks in India, that we feel are best for avid bird watchers. It includes the wetlands of Keoladeo, the mangroves of Sunderbans and even the snow-capped range of Kanchenzdonga. Each of these has a key species list to essentially help you with creating your own birding checklist while on adventure. They offer a plethora of viewing options ranging from hiking to traversing these bio-diverse regions either by motorboat, canoe or open jeep safaris. Observing birds is fun in any case, be it the ‘resident’ species or the ‘guests’ – some so small that they are hard to spot while other flaunt their plumes with full pride; some are diffident; others are masters of mimicry; while some species are literally teetering on the edge of extinction. Wandering and navigating through different areas within the subcontinent while seeking feathered denizens is an extremely fulfilling feat. It leaves most enthusiasts glued to their binoculars as they tick off checklists within days. There are very few sights that delight the senses as much as birds. They are one of the many gifts that nature has bestowed upon us.
