A great pair of binoculars

At our orchard in the Himalayas, the one thing that I have found really handy to have is our binoculars. With spectacular views all around, including that of the Churdhaar peak which at a height of 14,000 ft and is snow covered 5 months of the year, it's really important to have a good pair of powerful binoculars at hand. When we trekked to Churdhaar about 5 years back, it was really incredible to look down in great detail on all the surrounding areas, including the capital of Himachal Pradesh, Simla, which is quite far away.

Over the years, we've had lots of guests coming to stay with us and everyone has found the binoculars a really great way to sit outside and take in the beauty of the area. Bird watching is usually overlooked in the area, but there is a great variety of birds in the area, even some rare Himalayan ones. Having a good pair of binoculars is really crucial to the sport of bird watching and OpticsPlanet.net has a huge variety of binoculars of all types, for all purposes and all prices available in their online store. Premier brands such as Nikon, Steiner, Bushnell, Leupold, Swarovski, Leica, Celestron and Oberwerk are available at great prices at the OpticsPlanet.net site. There are also some very helpful sections on how to buy binoculars, understanding how they work and much more.
