Ive been wanting to do this map for a while now. I am not aware of one place where on can get this information. So here goes. Here is the list of places you can do “easy birding”. A chair, a thermos of chai and you are set 🙂 I will keep adding to this list as I get to know new locations.
The links on the customised map, will have contact info for you to book and connect.
Click on the blue link or directly on the map location for the contact info.Green links are my trip reports if I have visited that location.
Please also let me know if any of these are not functional. I will accordingly add a remark to that site.

Sanjay Rai at Latpanchar, West Bengal has a hide. Right now it is not very frequented with different species but it should gain popularity with time. When I went there the star attraction was a common green magpie. Others were relatively common birds.
