Introduction to Birding in India

Birdwatching in India is a rewarding experience, thanks to the country’s vast biodiversity and diverse ecosystems. With over 1,300 species of birds, including many endemic and migratory ones, India is a paradise for birders. The country’s geographical diversity, ranging from the Himalayas to coastal wetlands, deserts, and forests, offers unique habitats for a wide variety of birdlife.

Birding is best during the winter months (November to February), when migratory species flock to the country. Ethical birdwatching practices, such as maintaining distance from nests and following local regulations, are crucial to protect these habitats.

India’s vibrant birding culture is supported by organizations like the Bombay Natural History Society, which offer guided tours and workshops, making the country a top destination for bird enthusiasts worldwide.
