The Joy of Birding

Walking through the greenery and soaking in all the nature, is a profoundly therapeutic activity. A quaint little path zigzags into a picturesque landscape that stretches out to infinity, with lush greenery on either side, encircling a placid lake. Bird watching is a penance, a practice that builds the mindfulness muscle. It is meditation in motion, much like the Japanese concept of shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing”. Time spent in nature, speaks to a core, primal part of us that can have a powerful, transformative effect on our lives.

Serenaded by the Western Ghats, ensconced in greenery every which way you look, it’s no wonder that a myriad of bird species calls Kimmane their home. You might get to see the bright plumage of the Kingfisher, Malabar Hornbills, Plum-headed Parakeet, Yellow-footed Green Pigeon, Oriental Magpie Robin, Asian Quails, Greater Coucal, or Black Shouldered Woodpecker.
