Trek is very easy and can be done without much effort and it is completely safe unless you decide to venture into the woods where bears can be confronted. Stick to the main road and you should be completely safe. Good luck, there are a lot of laughingthrush and woodpeckers. Good luck.

Atleast I have an Idea of what I can expect and where (I'm staying at grand view as well)<br /><br />Can you share some tips about Kalatop sanctuary? Is guide important for the trek or is it safe enough for me and my wife to cover it by ourselves on foot? Also, If you can suggest some trek route, It'll be awesome!<br /><br />Again, Thank you so much for writing this blog post!Sumit kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064271987170526937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412384266629658507.post-76982720847017181372016-05-21T02:11:59.924+05:302016-05-21T02:11:59.924+05:30Dalhousie and Kalatop are just too good, especiall...Dalhousie and Kalatop are just too good, especially if you have never seen himalayan birds. Grand View Hotel near Dalhousie bus stand was great spot to watch a lot of birds. In Kalatop, i suggest go in the morning hours, take the trek of 6 km to and fro by foot and Im sure you will be spotting a lot of lifers. Good to hear you from Kutch - even i went to LRK for birding and it was equally rewarding - here is the link for the post of LRK http://highwayodyssey.blogspot.in/2015/10/bird-photography-at-little-rann-of.html Sumeet Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701215712392626821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412384266629658507.post-16950258068961415812016-05-20T16:29:28.604+05:302016-05-20T16:29:28.604+05:30Your Blog is very much helpful for bird lovers. yo...Your Blog is very much helpful for bird lovers. you had done really amazing job. and thanks for sharing images of various spices. i'm wildlife photographer from kutch, gujarat, i'm planning my trip of dalhousie and at that i want to cover kalatop and other birding places. can you reccomand me some particular birding spots.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030775194418911054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412384266629658507.post-60865551072609424022016-03-21T21:51:40.280+05:302016-03-21T21:51:40.280+05:30Hi Atul, Thanks for the encouraging words.

There standing on the hotel balcony i spotted all these species. I didn't take any guide,it's not needed. The location is too good, you stand there and keep adding lifers to your list. <br />In Khajjiar, I stayed in Shining Star Resort, that place is also having close proximity to apple orchard and on the way i spotted those beautiful woodpeckers. No guide needed again. It's very easy to spot these on your own.
