The Himalayan nuthatch is a small bird about 13 centimeters long. It moves quickly along tree trunks and searches for insects in the bark.
The Himalayan nuthatch differs from related species with noticeable stripes on its tail and a longer bill. It benefits the forest by destroying harmful insects under tree bark.
