Ranikhet Birding | Cheer & Koklass Pheasant in the Western Himalayas | Himalaya Birding Tours

Описание: Ranikhet, nestled in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, is one of the most important birding habitats in the Western Himalayas. In this video, we explore the rich forests of Ranikhet with a special focus on two iconic Himalayan pheasants — Cheer Pheasant and Koklass Pheasant.

Surrounded by vast Cheer Pine and Oak forests, Ranikhet offers a unique landscape that makes it one of the best places in North India to observe Cheer and Koklass Pheasants in the wild. These open forest slopes, forest edges, and quiet valleys create a perfect habitat not just for pheasants, but for a wide variety of Himalayan bird species.

In this video, I talk about:

Why Ranikhet is so important for birders

The natural habitat and behavior of Cheer Pheasant and Koklass Pheasant

How the forest structure of Ranikhet supports rare and elusive Himalayan birds

Why Uttarakhand remains one of the top birding destinations in North India

This region is a paradise for anyone interested in Uttarakhand birding, Western Himalayan birds, and responsible nature travel. From pheasants to forest passerines, Ranikhet continues to surprise birdwatchers year after year.

If you are passionate about birdwatching, wildlife, and exploring lesser-known birding destinations of North India, this video is for you.
