Kashmir - Bird Photography Expedition, Jan 2026

Step into a winter wonderland with this 6 nights 7 days Bird Photography Expedition to Kashmir, designed to immerse you in the magical landscapes and rich avian biodiversity of the Himalayan valley. As snow-draped conifers and pristine alpine meadows set the stage, this expedition takes you through some of the finest birding locations of Srinagar, Dachigam, and surrounding wetlands, where migratory and resident birds thrive during the winter.

Curated by DCP Expeditions, this bird photography tour is led by senior mentor and expert local guides who will help you track and photograph rare and stunning species against the breathtaking Himalayan backdrop. With exclusive access to local hotspots, this tour is ideal for bird photographers aiming to capture birds in winter plumage in scenic settings.

You’ll photograph iconic species like Tibetan Serin, White-throated Tit, Kashmir Nutcracker, and Himalayan Monal, along with winter migrants such as Greylag Geese, Mallards, Pintails, and Common Pochards that flock to the wetlands.

From mastering low-light shooting in snowy conditions to refining your fieldcraft, this masterclass is not just a photography tour — it’s an intensive learning experience that blends artistic expression with natural history.
