Birdwatching in Pakistan in Early Summer

The best places to see the birds of the Western Himalayas in Pakistan are Margalla Hills in winter and Kaghan Valley in summer. Birds that have spent the winter in the Margalla Hills, the Punjab Plains, or further afield in southern India or Sri Lanka, come to the moist temperate forests of the west Himalayas at around 2,000 to 2,800m in the Kaghan Valley to breed and spend the summer. We will walk through the coniferous forest, where there are large pine trees, and search for birds among the trees, around the streams, and in the cultivated fields. In addition to birds, you can also observe two species of flying squirrels (the Kashmir flying squirrel and red giant flying squirrel).
