Kunja Village Homestay

Wings and wild things

Birds & Wildlife

These forests are loud with life — barbets and whistling-thrushes, langurs in the oak, the leopard you'll only ever hear about. A patient archive of the wild that shares this hillside.

All of Explore

You'll hear the wildlife before you see it — the barbet's monsoon call, a thrush's whistle, leopard pugmarks found on a morning trail. The valley wakes to birdsong every single day, and patient eyes are well rewarded.

This is some of the richest country for Himalayan birds anywhere in Kumaon.
