Bird watching or birding piques interest in children and adults alike. Where else to indulge in this activity other than Dehradun? The city houses around 400 avian species that can be easily spotted during a stroll. However, certain hotspots ensure that you spot a maximum of the wide variety of birds. The stretch of The Ganges River and Yamuna river are the ideal places for bird watching in Dehradun. Other places near our Dehradun hotel & resort for this interesting activity are Asan Barrage and Rajaji National Park. Flanked by the Yamuna river, Asan Barrage is a haven for bird watching.


A number of migratory birds from Palearctic and Upper Himalayan region gather in the city during Autumn and Winter. Monsoon is the best period to spot local species.
