2020 Northern India & The Himalaya
In February 2020 we went on a birding trip to India with Indianaturetours, our guide was Lokesh Kumar, a fabulous bird guide. We found India fascinating, Delhi was an experience in itself, apart from all the fabulous birds we also took a trip to the Taj Mahal, and was struck by it's beauty. Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve and Jim Corbet Reserve both gave us excellent views of Bengal Tiger and amazing birds, we also travelled to Sattal and Pangot in the foothills of the Himalayas, such a wonderful adventure. We hope to return to India very soon. Sadly my camera decided to retire and stopped working during the trip, I am thankful to Lokesh who took many of the photos for us, I am sure he will not mind me including his photos in this photographic account of a fabulous tour.
