Munsyari & Khaliya, Pithoragarh · Kumaon, Uttarakhand · ≈ 192 km from Kunja
All birdwatchingMunsyari sits high in Pithoragarh district, below the great wall of the Panchachuli peaks, and the meadows toward Khaliya Top are wonderful for high-altitude birds. It's the other place we've seen the Himalayan Monal — clear and close, on the trek up.
