Summary
Join us on a birding adventure in the multi-faceted landscape of India, and observe a rich diversity of birds, see amazing wildlife, stay in wonderful hotels and lodges, and experience the warm hospitality and rich culture of India.
India is home to 14% of the world's birds, roughly 1,200 species. Our excursions are usually early in the day for the best birding. Of course, we target endemic and rare species.
Possible sightings include the Indian Courser, Little-ringed and Kentish Plover, Black Ibis, Crow Pheasant, Copper Smith Barbet, Racket-tailed Drongo, Oriental Turtle Dove, Malabarpied Hornbills, Black Bittern, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher, and Zitting Cisticola (Streaked-fantail Warbler), to name a few.
We also spend time in two of the world’s best tiger reserves, with an excellent opportunity to see these majestic predators, and visit the famed Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Optional extension to Kaziranga, without doubt one of the truly great wildlife sanctuaries of southern Asia.
