Sattal Birding · Hides & Oak Forests
Sattal — the seven lakes — sits in a fold of Kumaon's oak-rhododendron forest at around 1,400m. From November to March it becomes one of north India's quietest birding paradises. We work the stocked hides at first light, walk the moss-edged paths above the lakes by mid-morning, and scout for owls before dinner.
Likely sightings: Himalayan Rubythroat, Crested Kingfisher, Spotted & Little Forktail, Koklass & Kalij Pheasant, Common Green Magpie, Rufous Sibia, Plumbeous Redstart, Brown Wood Owl.
