~●WILDLIFE ADVENTURE TRIP●~

Fun, professionally guided birdwatching trips to more than 10 locations near the Sub-Himalayan belt of Jim Corbett National Park and Nainital, Uttarakhand. Providing the best tour experience is the continuing goal of our friendly, top-notch guides and staff.
Kumaon is well known for its unrivaled beauty of mountains, pine forests, and varied inhabitance of wild animals and Thousands of birds, as well as the pure natural beauty and the spectacular canyons. On this short tour, based in the cool pines of Nainital at an elevation of 6,500 feets, we will visit these breathtaking habitats in search of Himalayan Birds and wild animals and other mountain specialties, many not normally encountered in other parts of the world. Within short drives of Pangot(nainital), Sigri and Kunja Khaddak, we'll encounter birds and animals from the lower belts of Himalayas and the Jim Corbett National Park. Such species as Snow Leopards, Panthers, Honey Badgers, Red-Fox, stripped Hyena, Spotted Deer, Sambar, Musk-Deer, Barking-Deer,etc., reach the northern limits of their ranges here, while some Mountain birds such as Himalayan Griffon, Black Kite, Black Shouldered Kite, Khaleej Pheasant, Koklas and Cheer Pheasants breed no farther south, and Crested Kingfisher and Plum-head Parakeet are found in the Transition zone.
During our four full days of birding we'll search for these species along with Eurasian Jay, Rufous Treepie and Red-billed blue Magpie. Himalayan-Woodpecker, Paradise flycatchers, Mountain Bluebird, Scaly Breasted Munia, Verditer Flycatcher and Russet Sparrow along with more widespread northern birds. We'll explore the mountain-forests near Kilbury(Nainital) and Jim Corbett, where we'll seek the majestic Bengal Tigers, whose numbers have declined considerably over the last couple of decades. Uttarakhand currently supports a healthy Tiger population of approximately 250 tigers, most of which are confined to Corbett Tiger Reserve and its adjoining forests.
Our tour guide Mr. Rajju has lived in these Woods for more than thirty years. His enthusiasm and love for the area has caused some to ask if he is on the payroll of the Wildlife promotional board! Ha-ha-ha..
