BIRDS SEEN IN NORTHERN INDIA, DECEMBER 1998
Go to the world map.
     
This was a 2000 mile tour of Rajhastan, not specifically a birdwatching holiday. However, India is so rich in birds that we saw a good number of species. We did guided game tours in the Sariska and Ranthambhore National Parks, where many of the birds (as well as tigers) were seen.
