Bird Watching – Munnar

Bird watching tour in Munnar’s rich natural landscape is a great idea for novice birdwatchers. You are accompanied by an experienced guide who helps to spot and distinguish between different species. Though bird watching can often be a task requiring great patience and perseverance, the sight of a beautiful bird in its natural habitat is strangely exhilarating and makes all the effort absolutely worth the while.

The best time to spot most of the birds is early in the morning. Munnar is home to more than 100 species of resident and 40 species of migrant birds. With its rich natural ecosystem, Munnar is one of the best places in the Western Ghats to spot some of the endemic birds like Nilgiri Wood Pigeon, Nilgiri Flycatcher, Black and Rufous Flycatcher, Nilgiri Pipit, Kerala Laughing Thrush, Painted Bush Quail, Broad Tailed Grass Bird and much more.
It is recommended to wear nature-colored costumes, trekking or walking shoes, carry a water bottle, hat or cap, sunglasses, and sunscreen if necessary.
