Seema Dhiman wow.. any tips for stay in sattal.. which place is best for birding??

Mohit Srinivasan Hi Seema, in Sattal there is a 'studio' where one can sit and hope to photograph some of the birds. Apart from that you will definitely come across plenty of others if you go for the trail inside the forest. There are quite a few other spots close by which are quite good for birding as well. As far as stay is concerned, there is a KMVN property there and plenty of others. Stay is really not a problem. Usually people cover other places like Pangot, Chafi along with Sattal. You could also combine it with Corbett and its outskirts. However, Pangot, Sattal and Chafi is quite a good trip to do.

Seema Dhiman Thanks mohit for the valuable info.. ☺️

Himadri Sen @Mohit , can you throw some light on the "studio", i have been there couple of times ( not for birding), didn't see . Any local contacts for sattal?

Mohit Srinivasan Hi Himadri, it's a point not too far from the entry of the forested trail where you can sit and wait. There are a few branches which are laid out for birds to perch and depending on the activity one can get some shots in clean background,if that's what one is looking for.

Mohit Srinivasan That place is referred to as studio, that's about all

Srinivas P can we go visit the Studio directly, or do we need to stay in some lodge close by

Aditya Vaidya I don't know what the current update is but recently, they had closed down the 'Studio' due to some incidents. This was taken from among the trails. If you plan to spend a good amount of time there, then you can live in any of the lodges close by. Even if you're living a little away, you can always reach there in good time.

Srinivas P thanks

Vineet Kurien Beautiful shot!

Santosh Verma Nice.. beautiful bird
