Bird Watching

Bhutan is described as a paradise for bird watching. The low-lying sub-tropical areas to the high alpine zones (900m to 5500m) have made Bhutan home to almost 675 species of birds. More are likely to be found. The bird habitat is variable over a short distance and is also defined by seasons. The internationally endangered species “the Black Necked Cranes” have made Bhutan its winter roosting place. Greater Spotted Eagle, Baer’s Pilchard, Imperial Eagle and Hodgson’s Bush Chart are some of the endangered species found in Bhutan. Other globally threatened birds are White Bellied Heron, Pallas’s Fish Eagle, Chestnut Breasted Partridge, Blyth’s Trogon, Wood Snipe, Dark Rumped Swift, Rufous Necked Hornbill, Grey Crowned Prinia and Beautiful Nuthatch. Bird watching tour program can be arranged based on the interest of the clients.
