We have just returned from a 14 day, 11 day hike with Raj and Durga from Team Himalaya to Everest Base Camp. From the minute we landed to our departure we were properly looked after and cared for by Team Himalaya. The trek to and from Everest Base Camp was wonderful, our guides and porters really looked after us and were incredibly knowledgeable. In Nepal things can go wrong especially with flights to and from Lukla but Team responded magnificently and found alternative solutions. If this is on your bucket list as ours and you are looking for a company to organise this with I would 100% recommend Raj.
Bird Watching tour in Nepal takes your experience with nature to a whole new level. The country is incredibly rich in biodiversity, especially the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve in the eastern Terai, for birdwatching. There are a whopping 850 bird species in Nepal, and an astonishingly large number of them are found in and around the Kathmandu Valley. The majestic hills surrounding the valley, such as Godavari, Nagarjun, and Phulchowki, and serene places like Taudaha, are fabulous places to observe migratory birds during the winter months.
Various national parks, such as Chitwan, Bardiya, and Khaptad, host a large number of exotic birds and offer exclusive bird-watching packages. However, KoshiTappu takes the prize for its staggering numbers of resident and migratory birds, many of which come from as far as Siberia. You can also witness rare and endangered high-elevation birds in the Himalayan regions, such as Sagarmatha National Park. The country’s national bird – Lophophorous – is found in high hills and the Himalayas of Nepal alongside wild pheasants, snow partridge, Tibetan snowcock, and Grey francolin. A refreshing bird-watching trip with an experienced naturalist will enhance your overall nature experience manyfold.
