Rare Bird Species You Might Spot in Kumaon
Wildlife Experiences Beyond Birdwatching
Wildrift’s wildlife safari is about the discovery of the magical natural world of animals birds and jungles
Expert-guided birding trips to Kumaon provide an opportunity to explore Uttarakhand's diverse avian population. Our birding adventures include morning chorus walks, bird photography sessions, and species identification seminars, with over 600 bird species in Corbett National Park, high-altitude Himalayan endemics in Mukteshwar.
Explore our Kumaon early morning bird treks on weekend trails through Uttarakhand’s forests, perfect for spotting Himalayan species at sunrise. Ride through forest trails chasing birds on cycles, join nocturnal expeditions under starlit skies, and learn to track wildlife through pugmark casting. Each activity brings you closer to the rhythms of the wild.
Spend nights in rustic machaans at Camp Kyari, surrounded by forest silence and distant owl calls. Witness the fluttering festival of butterflies, and embrace the deep silences.
Whether you're monitoring migrating ducks at Sat-Tal Camp or viewing forest species in the Kumaon hills, or exploring other bisding hotspot Pangot, Chopta, Chafi, Syamkhet, and Ranikhet. These adventures aren’t just tours—they’re wild dreams come alive in the heart of Uttarakhand’s wilderness.
