Bird Watching at Jim Corbett National Park

Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand is not only home to dense greenery and a variety of animals but also to a multitude of birds. It is an excellent place to go bird watching and take pictures of the different kinds of birds that are found here, many of which are rare and endangered.

Corbett National Park is known to be home to about 600 species of birds, something which makes it a paradise for nature lovers, environmentalists and ornithologists. Local authorities as well as private travel agencies organise safaris in a jeep or canter to enable tourists to catch glimpses of birds and animals. Some of the species one might see include the Black-Crowned Night Heron, Cinnamon Bittern, Kingfisher, Great White Pelican and Greater Cormorants, amongst others. Furthermore, there are 6 main trails that tourists can explore in order to see birds; one would spot different bird species on different trails. These trails are Haati Dangar, Kyari to Powalgarh, Kosi Barrage and Sitabani, Mohaan to Kumariya, Garjiya Temple with Kosi River and Bhakrakot to Marchula.
