    Tour Overview

    Two of Karnataka's best birding places in one short trip: Ranganathittu, where storks, pelicans and cormorants nest on islets in the Kaveri, and the Kabini backwaters on the edge of Nagarhole, rich in birds of water and forest as well as elephants and big cats.

    Winter Wildlife & Birding: Dec 2026 – Feb 2027 (migratory bird season)

    December to March is the nesting season at Ranganathittu: painted storks, spot-billed pelicans and open-billed storks crowd the river islands, and the boat glides past within metres of them. In the same months, winter visitors arrive on the Kabini backwaters, and the dry forest gives good sightings at the water's edge.
