Best time to visit

The best time to visit aviary is during the summers when uncountable and infinite numbers of birds belonging to various species flock over and migrate in the park. In summers, the temperature never falls below 25 degrees in that place.

While in winter, the place remains snow-clad and the birds move back to their own places. SHIMLA TOUR PACKAGES must include this place.
