It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The subspecies P. g. margaritae of southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia is usually regarded as a separate species, the black-headed parrotbill or black-crowned parrotbill.
