Black-rumped flameback or lesser goldenback (male)
We hear them so often in the forest as they rattle off their call. Males have red crown and crests, females have black crowns which are spotted with white. Rump is black as opposed to red in greater flameback. #flameback #woodpecker #birds
Hello guys, planning my first trip to Pangot and Sattal. Focus of the trip is birding and any amount of walking / trails / trekking. Any suggestions on where I should be staying in these places, birding guides that you recommend would be great. Thanks
Tanmay Keshav Hi Roshan, have been to Pangot a couple of times. Stayed there in Oak Trails Eco Lodge one time, good birding within the camp too, amazing views, great food. It's a 20 minute trek up to the camp so that's quite exciting too. What i also liked was that it's further ahead from where most lodges are in Pangot so its quite exclusive.. and yet reasonably priced
Mohit Srinivasan Try Kafal House in Pangot. Heard good things about all of these - Oak Trails, Jungle Lore, Mountain Quail Birding Lodge. For Sattal, KMVN guest house works well for me - well located & quite budget
Arun James Some good resources and guides for Pangot & Sattal are Hari Lama, Rohit Nayal, Vijay Patni.. have their numbers if you need
Gulnar Vij Plenty of options for Sattal, that stretch is full of lodges. KMVN is good. You can even set up base in Pangot and take your car to Sattal for your time there.
Roshan Suresh Thanks a lot everyone. @Arun: I have msged you, pls do provide their numbers.
