Nepal, a premier destination for ecotourism, offers a birdwatching experience like no other. With its diverse geography—ranging from the lowland plains of the Terai to the towering Himalayan peaks—the country is a haven for bird enthusiasts. Encompassing an area of 147,181 square kilometers, Nepal is home to over 900 species of birds, accounting for nearly 10 percent of the world’s bird species. From subtropical jungles and wetlands to alpine meadows and rugged highlands, Nepal’s varied ecosystems provide an ideal habitat for resident and migratory birds.
Birdwatching in Nepal is not just about spotting species; it is an immersive journey into the heart of the country’s natural beauty and biodiversity. In the Annapurna region, the Raptors Photography Tour lets you capture majestic birds of prey, including eagles, hawks, and vultures, set against stunning mountain backdrops. The Everest Birdwatching Trip takes you to the alpine forests and valleys, where you can find pheasants, accentors, and rosefinches among other high-altitude species.
The lush botanical gardens of Godawari, near Kathmandu, offer a tranquil birding experience, perfect for sighting warblers, bulbuls, and sunbirds. Meanwhile, the wetlands of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, designated as a Ramsar site, teem with migratory waterfowl, storks, and ibises, making it a hotspot for bird enthusiasts. The Nepal Spiny Babbler Tour offers the chance to see Nepal’s national endemic bird, a rare gem found only in this region.
For those seeking rare avian encounters, the ISBIL (International Standard Bird Identification List) Tour takes you to carefully curated locations to observe Nepal’s most elusive and endangered bird species.
