Heavenly Chopta - Just Returned from heaven : Chopta had been on our wish list for a long time. With stories of being
rich in natural beauty and having vast variety of bird life, the urge to
visit this place grew every year. After checking on the route and the
hotels we started from Gurgaon very early in the morning with sole purpose
to cover as much distance as possible to beat the heat and reached
Rishikeshby noon. Originally we had planned to visit
Rajaji National Park. As luck would have it the Park closed for monsoon on
15th June.. This gave us an opportunity to do birding on the forest road
which passes through the periphery of the park, the road starts from
Ganga River Barrage and goes towards Neelkanth Temple on the opposite side of the river.
The Hornbill Country*
The area is a hornbill country. We would have seen at least six grey
hornbills. While passing on this road, we saw shadow of large bird going
towards a tree. Brakes slammed, car veered toward the edge of the road and
neck immediately angling toward the sky and out of the window, saw a male
Oriental Pied Hornbill settling on a nest which was about 30 feet above the
road.
