The report in Anand's own words...

This is the first time I was birding in north, almost every other bird we saw was a new one for me. One surprising thing was that we didn't see much raptors, spotted Himalayan Griffon 2 times and that is all in 12 days. Also we didn't visit any lakes so didn't see much water birds.
Another point we noted was that orange seemed to be most popular colour amount the birdies. Majority of birds had at least some bit of rufous/orange in them.
