Birds & Mammals of Kerala and Valparai, South India
Birds and Mammals of Kerala & Valpari is about the birding tour we undertook to discover flora and fauna of Western Ghats. Western Ghats not only represents geomorphic features of immense importance with unique biophysical and ecological processes but also has an exceptionally high level of biological diversity and endemism. The tropical evergreen forests is home to some endemic and globally threatened species of birds and mammals, sighting these was our prime focus this season. Had been to some parts of this region earlier in 2013 (Ref: Birding in Western Ghats)
We planned our round trip starting on the 4th day of December 2016 and ending at Kochi on the 13th day of December 2016
