Chopta is a small village within Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary and in between the route to famous Hindu shrine Badrinath. My first visit to this region for birding
I went for a 3 day birding tour to Chopta with main target - Himalyan Monal
Planned this trip with Mr Bharat who is a super bird guide & the best in this area. He can be contacted at himalayabirdin...
He is much much recommended for birding in Chopta
