Birding Spots in India

Of the 8650 species of birds in the world, India is home to as many as 1200 (roughly 14%), out of which 141 are endemic to this region. Even more astonishing is the fact that out of the total 27 Orders and 155 Families that bird life has been classified into, India has 20 Orders and 77 Families. Out of these, 77 are endangered species. The reason for this richness of species is the region's highly varied climate, the associated diversity of vegetation . From the heights of the highest Himalayas to the greatest mangrove forest delta in the Sunderbans, the land is unique, making India a home for some of the most sought after wild birds in the world. Although all the national parks are the great spots for birding tours, But on this page we have listed few of the birdwatching spots that are celebrated for bird watching tours in India.
