Latpanchar, perched in the misty foothills of the eastern Himalayas, is one of India's finest birding destinations — a mosaic of subtropical and temperate forests teeming with hornbills, trogons, broadbills, and rare pittas. Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, bordering the Teesta River plains, complements the hills with its dense sal forest and rich lowland avifauna. Together, this 8-day circuit through West Bengal delivers a spectacular cross-section of Himalayan and Terai biodiversity, guided by experts who know every trail, hide, and forest call.
