Chopta Birding and Wildlife Tour

Hidden in the heart of the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, Chopta is a Himalayan gem known for its serene forests, sweeping meadows, and exceptional bird diversity. Popularly called the “Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand,” this picturesque valley sits at an altitude of around 2,600–3,900 meters and offers one of the richest Himalayan birding experiences in India. The Chopta Birding & Wildlife Tour by Wildvoyages is designed for nature enthusiasts, bird photographers, and wildlife lovers who wish to explore the Himalayan ecosystem in its purest form. From the iridescent feathers of the Himalayan Monal glinting in the morning light to the calls of Cheer Pheasants echoing across misty slopes, every moment in Chopta feels alive with wonder. A Haven for Bird Lovers Chopta lies within the Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary, a protected habitat teeming with both resident and migratory species. • The region is home to over 250 bird species, including many Himalayan endemics such as the Koklass Pheasant, Snow Partridge, Rufous-bellied Niltava, and Fire-tailed Sunbird. • Guided birding walks through rhododendron and oak forests offer rare opportunities to spot and photograph these vibrant species in their natural habitat. • The varying altitudes provide distinct ecological zones, making Chopta a paradise for both professional bird photographers and amateur bird watchers alike. Wildlife Encounters & Natural Beauty Beyond its birdlife, Chopta’s wilderness supports an incredible variety of Himalayan fauna. • You might encounter Musk Deer, Himalayan Langurs, Barking Deer, Martens, and occasionally, Leopards. • The landscapes themselves are breathtaking — snow-clad peaks, ancient forests, and open alpine meadows that seem to touch the clouds. • From Tungnath Temple to Deoriatal Lake, every trail reveals a unique combination of nature, spirituality, and tranquillity.
