The White-capped Redstart is primarily found in the northern regions, particularly in mountainous areas such as the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range. It inhabits forests, scrublands, and rocky terrain near water bodies like streams and rivers. During the breeding season, it may venture into higher elevations, while in winter, it descends to lower altitudes.

White-capped Redstarts are known for their active foraging behavior, often seen hopping along rocky surfaces or darting into the air to catch insects. They are territorial during the breeding season and may perform elaborate courtship displays to attract mates. Their melodious songs echo through their habitats, especially during the breeding season. These birds are generally adaptable and can withstand harsh mountainous environments.
