Sattal, Ranikhet & Chopta Birding Expedition
A Journey into the Wild Himalayas
Step into a world where nature slows you down and every moment invites deeper connections.
The Sattal Birding Photography Expedition is thoughtfully curated for an immersive bird photography experience. Set across the pristine landscapes of Sattal, the charming cantonment town of Ranikhet, and the high-altitude forests of Chopta, this journey takes you into some of the richest birding habitats in the Himalayas.
Photograph and observe remarkable species such as the Long-tailed broadbill, Koklass pheasant, and the elusive Cheer pheasant, while walking through serene forest trails, hidden birding hides, and tranquil lakesides. The wilderness here is alive, not just with birds, but with sightings of barking deer, yellow-throated marten, and occasionally, even leopards.
