It is a premier destination for birdwatching, attracting ornithologists and enthusiasts from all over. Over 500 species of resident and migratory birds have been recorded here, including various types of woodpeckers, kingfishers, flycatchers, and the majestic Himalayan griffon. There are specific birdwatching trails and hides set up to facilitate this activity. Apart from birdwatching, Sattal offers a range of activities for visitors: Boating and Kayaking: The calm waters of the lakes are perfect for a peaceful boat ride or kayaking, allowing visitors to explore the serene surroundings. Nature Walks and Trekking: Numerous trails wind through the forests around the lakes, offering opportunities for invigorating walks and short treks. Butterfly Research Centre: Nearby, a prominent Butterfly Research Centre (detailed further down) is home to a vast collection of butterflies and moths, providing an educational experience.
