Gujarat (20° 01’ to 24° 44’ N, 68° 03’ to 74° 24’ E), situated in western India, has diverse habitats and a varied birdlife. The main regions of Gujarat are Kachchh, Saurashtra and mainland Gujarat (which includes South Gujarat, North Gujarat and the area in between, which can be referred to as Central Gujarat). These regions have varied habitats, with the moist, deciduous forests of South Gujarat to the deserts of Kachchh. Hence there is great diversity in the bird life seen here. The varied habitats, along with a culture of non-violence towards wildlife, have made Gujarat a premier destination for bird watching in India
