Sattal Birding Tour
- Tour Overview
Sattal Birding Tour is a unique journey taking place in the unsullied world of the Himalayan birds. Standing at an elevation of 4000 feet in Nainital district of Uttarakhand, the place is encircled by seven freshwater lakes and has earned immense popularity amongst birdwatchers for preserving the habitat of many rare and elusive birds. Sattal is a striking example of community-based tourism where the local people are not only sensitive towards protecting the fragile ecology of the mountains but also display a remarkable knowledge of the undisturbed birdlife harbouring in the region. The three nights and four days tour is carefully crafted covering all the birding hotspots of the area.
