Uttrakhand “Symphony of Wings in the Himalayan Haven.”

Birdwatching and Photography Experience in Uttarakhand

My first birdwatching trip to Uttarakhand was truly unforgettable. I traveled from Mumbai to Bareilly by flight and then by car to Kathgodam. For seven days, I stayed at Happy Owls Homestay, where the food was the best I’ve ever had. My guide, Mr. Prabhu Hazara, a highly experienced local expert, made the trip even more special. We explored the Himalayan foothills, where I photographed incredible species like the Great Barbet, Kalij Pheasant, and Rufous Sibia — the vibrant colors and lively calls were mesmerizing. The peaceful mornings, crisp mountain air, and the thrill of spotting rare birds made this journey one for the books.
