Think of birding in India, think of Assam. The green and hilly state, located in the northeast of the country, boasts the highest diversity of birds in India, making it a mecca for birders from across the world.
India, with its 1300 different species of birds, holds out an excellent bird-watching prospect, and Assam, home to about 935 of these birds species, is where most of the action is centred. The region’s incredible biodiversity makes it a thriving avifauna habitat, and the range and variety and beauty of the birds spotted here – both endemic and migratory – make the Assam birding tour worth every cent and second spent.
Hardly an hour goes by on our birding trip of Assam when you don’t spot something interesting. The forests, the hills, the wetlands and grasslands of Assam abound with ducks, geese, gulls, pochards, partridges, pheasants, quails, swifts, nightjars, cuckoos, cranes, storks, pelicans, parakeets, hornbills, herons, plovers, lapwings, vultures, woodpeckers, warblers, kingfishers, babblers, bulbuls, magpies, sunbirds, finches, and a lot many birds.
