Birdwatching and Photography Tour

Private and Reserved Tour: All over Nepal

Nepal may be a small country in size but it's a bird watchers' paradise. Packed with national parks and a topography that encompasses the sub-tropical to alpine conditions, Nepal plays host to more than 800 species of birds. Nepal is a bird watchers' paradise with national parks and conservation areas making up a large part of its territory. More than 800 species of birds are found in Nepal. Bird watching is possible in any corner of Nepal, be it in the sweltering plains. The best time to visit for birdwatching in spring (March to May), you can observe a multitude of vibrant migratory species like warblers, flycatchers, and thrushes. Similarly, autumn (September to November) brings a diverse range of raptors, shorebirds, and waterfowl.

Apart from Nepal’s plains and hills, the mountains like Australian Base Camp and Langtang valley are also home to different bird species, hence ideal for best birdwatching place. Nepal’s national bird, the Lophophorus, (Danphe) is predominantly found there. Jordon’s baza, a bird that is extinct, is also found in the Himalayas. Apart from these, Himalayan raven, blood pheasant, koklass pheasant, Himalayan monal, kalij pheasant and the globally near-threatened satyr tragopan are also found in the mountainous areas like the Annapurnas. White-rumped vulture, the golden eagle, and the crested serpent eagle are also some notable birds one can see in these areas. We organized this trip very professionally and accompanied by our experienced bird expert ornithologist guide who have been working more than 30 year in this field.
