The famous Himalayan Bird Park, located in the heart of Shimla city, is home to rare and exotic birdlife. Undoubtedly, from morning to evening, the ecological spot is crowded with bird watchers and wildlife photographers. The park has various distinct subspecies of pheasants, peacocks, and peafowls. Himachal Pradesh’s state bird ‘Himalayan Monal’ evokes the curiosity of each visitor.

Visitors can spend some quality time with family and friends from 10 am to 6 pm, except on Mondays. The tourist spot is at an easily commutable distance of just 1.5 kilometers from Shimla Railway Station.
