The land of rhododendrons, mighty Mount Everest, sub-tropical jungle and incredible landscapes! Once great seas rolled across Nepal some fifteen million years ago, parts of that gigantic seabed becoming the Himalayas – the highest region in the world. Located beneath their southern slopes is the kingdom of Nepal sharing borders in the east, west and south with India and in the north with the Tibetan region of the Peoples Republic of China. At times Nepal has played the role of intermediary between these two great powers, and at other times it has faced the threat of invasion by both of them. Nepal is a beautiful and diverse land with an amazing variety of wildlife and landscapes. Its cultural mix and intriguing history have conquered the hearts and minds of visitors throughout time.

The birding in the region is no less spectacular, and our tour will explore all the key habitats to be found in this small country. The temperate forests of Shivapuri National Park hold Nepal’s only endemic bird; the Spiny Babbler, while Hoary-throated Barwing, a near endemic shared only with Bhutan is also possible. Time will be spent exploring the magnificent Chitwan National Park for a chance to connect with Bengal Florican and endangered mammals such as Tiger and Indian Rhinoceros, while the various gorges and rivers of Hetauda and the riverine grassland in Kosi Tappu Wildlife Reserve allow us to be absorbed into the natural wonder of this incredible destination.
