Welcome to Birds of Himalayas — an authoritative field guide, visual archive, and personal documentation of the avian diversity across the Western Himalayas. What began in 2024 from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, is an ambitious field project aimed at profiling over 350 bird species. From familiar foothill parakeets and riverine species of Pong Dam to elusive mid-elevation forest birds, soaring Himalayan raptors, and rare high-altitude pheasants of Great Himalayan National Park, this portal captures the avifauna of one of the world's most vital biodiversity hotspots through original photographs, calls, and detailed field notes gathered over 12 years of systematic surveys.
