Its range extends across the Himalayan forests in northern India to northeast Indian states, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and in the east to Indochina including Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.[2] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Whiskered Yuhina is often found in Mixed hunting party with other Yuhina and Fulvetta species.[3] It is described as one of the commonest Yuhinas in the Himalayas, although it is relatively uncommon to rare at low elevations.[2] It prefers relatively undisturbed closed canopy cover.[4] It is one among several other birds hunted by livestock herders in Northeast India.[5]
