| Birding in India with us |
| |
India, being a large country, has many interesting bird species, including a number of ‘life birds’ to offer most visiting birdwatchers. Many of these species are possible to find on birding tours done in Northern and Southern India. These tours can be carried out either in separate visits or a single one.
A tour of India can also be combined with tour of Sri Lanka.
Recent taxonomic revision in Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) recognizes 192 South Asian endemic species among birds occurring in India. Of these, 30 species are restricted to the Western Ghats where our South India tour is carried out. On this tour it is possible to find nearly all of them and also several other widespread South Asian endemics.
Our tours cover several regions rich in culture and with varied, picturesque habitats, providing opportunities for large numbers of birds to be seen, in an unforgettable experience
