Birding - Land Birds

-
Around 30 to 40 species of birds can be spotted within Vayu Kutir and while waling on the forest and river walk trails that start from Vayu Kutir. The species range from the ordinary to the exotic, from small song birds to Wooly neck storks, from the hunted to the hunters (raptors)

At Vayu Kutir we have picture books  with details about each species of birds in Kangra to help birders identify local birds. You can even purchase a copy from us.

Best Time for Land Bird Photography

Birds are visible around the year at and near Vayu Kutir. However, they are most easily spotted and photographed during March and April because trees have very few leaves during the months.
