India is perhaps the only country in the world that proudly
talks about its glorious history of five million-year-old while carrying the
youngest population on this planet. It has already proved its mettle in
information technology, aerospace, entrepreneurship whereas the diversity in
its mouth-watering cuisine has made it a hub of Asian Gastronomy. With such
momentum, only a few special eyes can unfold the secret world of birds and
mammals who owns unspoiled spaces away from the helter-skelter of city life.
The trails of North India Birding Tour will bring you near
the exotic bird colonies thriving in the vast wetlands of Sultanpur and
Bharatpur. During winters, these wetlands turn into a feeding grounds which

Teals, Northern Pintails, Wood Sandpipers, Spot-billed Pelicans, and the robust
yet elegant Bar-headed Geese who especially crosses Mount Everest to make its
entry in the Indian Subcontinent. Mother duck taking joyful rides with her tiny
tots in the large water bodies are one of the most adorable moments of nature
quite commonly sighted in this part of the region.
In the drainage system of India, the Chambal river is one of the
oldest that has seen the rise and fall of many civilizations. Several great
battles were fought on its banks, gigantic forts, and ancient temples were

infamous actions of the deadly dacoits. However, it is the unique Eco-system

Himalayan birds such as Khalij, Koklas, Cheer pheasants, Black Francolin,
Paradise, and Verditer Flycatchers, the rare Grey Crowned Prinia, Spotted
