Sierra Birds specializes in birdwatching tourism across the mountainous regions of the Himalayas and Northeast India, as well as Nepal and Bhutan. Its operations extend across the Northwest Indian Himalayas, covering Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh. In addition to its established Himalayan network, Sierra Birds has expanded its operations internationally into Tibet and the mountainous regions of China. Its current Chinese operational range includes Sichuan, Wuyishan, Balanshan, Ruoergai, Gannan, and surrounding highland and mountain regions farther north.
This gives Sierra Birds a broad trans-Himalayan birdwatching network, connecting some of the most important montane bird habitats of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, and China.
Birdwatching Tours in China
In addition to our primary birding destination, which covers the regions of Sichuan and Qinghai, including some of China’s most important mountain landscapes such as Balangshan, Wuyushan, and the Leshan mountain ranges, we are now further expanding our birding operations across China. Our extended programme includes Fujian Province in southeastern China and Hainan Island, providing access to a completely different range of habitats, climatic conditions, and avian communities.
These two destinations complement each other exceptionally well. While our first programme focuses largely on the high-altitude landscapes and montane ecosystems of Qinghai and Sichuan, our second programme takes us into the subtropical and tropical environments of Fujian and Hainan and the mountainous regions of Henan. This allows us to experience a much broader representation of China’s remarkable avian diversity—from alpine and plateau species to forest, subtropical, and tropical birds. We therefore operate two major birding destinations in China, each designed around a distinct geographical and biogeographical region. The detailed itineraries for both birding programmes are 1. Birdwatching Tour in Sichuan, Qinghai Gansu & Tibetan Autonomous Region for endemic birds of China & 2. Birdwatching Tour in Hainan, Fujian and Henan for endemic birds of China
