The Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world's eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity, stretch along the western edge of India and are a treasure trove of endemic wildlife. Cloaked in lush evergreen forests, montane grasslands, and shola ecosystems, this ancient mountain range is a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike.

The Western Ghats offer a unique window into India's rich avian life. From the striking Malabar Trogon and the elusive Nilgiri Wood Pigeon to the vibrant Flame-throated Bulbul, each species reflects the ecological richness and delicate balance of this region. This gallery is a tribute to the incredible birdlife of the Western Ghats, and a celebration of the region’s quiet, vibrant beauty.
