Capturing the Magnificent Beauty of Uttarakhand Landscape

Updated: Jan 6

These are some images of the beauty of the Uttarakhand landscape (some are mobile pics)


From what Primarily a birding trip, I managed to force the drivers to stop for me to take these images. We visited the two birding havens, Sattal & Manila, during this trip.


Sattal (or Sat Tal), in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand, derives its name from seven interconnected freshwater lakes. At an altitude of around 1,370m, Sattal lies in the Lower Himalayan Range, nestled amidst forests of pine and oak. It is famous for its rich biodiversity. The region is home to 500 species of resident and migratory birds, over 500 species of butterflies and a variety of moths, beetles, bugs and other insects.


Manila Just (50 km) ahead of Jim Corbett (Ramnagar) lies the town of Manila, Uttarakhand a birding haven for nature enthusiasts. Apart from its natural beauty, the town offers panoramic views of the lower Himalayan hills, which contribute to its growing popularity. Manila in the Almora district of Uttarakhand, is a paradise for bird-watching. Its diverse ecosystems offer an ideal habitat for various bird species.
