Birdwatching: An Indian Safari Highlight

From the lavishly plumed peacock to the black ibis and bright green bee eaters, India is home to an astonishing 1,300 bird species! On Nat Hab's India wildlife expeditions, you will have a chance to view at least 500 species of amazing avians commonly seen in the national parks we visit. Though most of our travelers come to India to search for Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos and other megafauna, you should not underestimate the appeal of India’s beautiful birdlife when it comes to safari highlights. Join Nat Hab Expedition Leader Aditya Panda in exploring the amazing opportunities for birdwatching while on the hunt for India's charismatic large mammals. Aditya shares details about some of the fascinating birds you are likely to see as we take a virtual journey through the diverse natural reserves that are our focus in India. Meet a wide-ranging array of birds—endemics, residents and migrants—that exist within a great variety of habitats, and come away ready to spot some of the country’s most entrancing birdlife on your India nature adventure.
