Birdwatching & hiking in Neora Valley — Sat to Mon

Neora Valley National Park is one of Northeast India's most biodiverse and least-visited forest sanctuaries. Rufous-necked Hornbill, Satyr Tragopan, Pied Falconet — and dozens of Himalayan species rarely seen elsewhere.

Saturday arrival, forest on Sunday, Monday exit. The alarm goes off at 5am Sunday morning. That's when the valley sings.
