|

| Wild Brook Retreat Rajaji National Park, Uttarakhand Here there are 400 species of birds in the area around called Rajaji National Park including Crested Kingfisher, Great Hornbill, Alpine Swifts, Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters, Brown Fish Owl, Mountain Scops Owl, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Shaheen Falcon, Himalayan Ruby-throat, Slaty-headed Parakeet and many more. I will strongly recommend this place since this is just 200 km. from Delhi and is very well connected by rail and road as well as air. Birdingpal M Kulshreshtha |

| Chambal Safari Lodge Jarar, Uttar Pradesh The Chambal Safari Lodge has been extended and renovated and as with every previous year, over 2000 new saplings have been planted.
