Introduction || This two-week birding tour focuses on the major national parks and birding destinations of West Bengal, travelling from south to north across an extraordinary range of habitats and positioning the journey among the most immersive bird watching India experiences. The route spans forest types from the estuarine mangrove ecosystem at the southern tip of Bengal to sub-alpine forests above 3,600 metres, before continuing into the foothill plains and low grassland savanna forests. This remarkable ecological diversity allows travellers to observe a wide spectrum of avifauna, making the region one of the rewarding best bird watching places in India. The journey begins in Kolkata and moves south into the mangrove waterways of the Sundarbans, where tidal creeks and dense forests provide ideal conditions for observing wetland and mangrove species commonly featured in indian bird watching itineraries. From here, the tour flies north to Darjeeling and enters Singalila National Park along the Indo–Nepal border, an area known for its high-altitude birdlife and panoramic Himalayan settings that attract experienced bird watchers of India. Continuing eastward, the route reaches Neora Valley National Park near the Bhutan border, a pristine forest zone closely associated with the wider birds of north east india corridor. Descending from the hills, the final phase of the tour explores the foothill plains of North Bengal, concluding birding activities in Jaldapara National Park, where an elephant safari adds a distinctive wildlife dimension to the experience. The itinerary combines mangrove cruising in South Bengal with hiking through Singalila National Park and the upper hills of Neora Valley, offering opportunities to document species often listed among the birds found in Sikkim and adjoining eastern Himalayan regions. Accommodation varies according to terrain, with basic tea houses or camps used during mountain hikes, while standard jungle lodges provide comfort during stays in Jaldapara and the Sundarbans, creating a balanced and immersive long-form birding journey.
