Bird watching in Nepal
Nepal is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, home to over 867 species of birds, including 35 globally threatened species such as the critically endangered Bengal Florican, Slender-billed Vulture, White-rumped Vulture, and Red-headed Vulture.
Our Birding Trips take you to some of Nepal’s most rewarding bird habitats — Shivapuri Wildlife Reserve, Chitwan National Park, and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve — each offering a unique diversity of avian life.
One of our featured experiences includes a visit to the Vulture Restaurant Project, an innovative conservation initiative that supports the survival of endangered vultures. The project provides safe, uncontaminated food sources by collecting deceased livestock from local communities, helping protect these vital scavengers and their ecosystem.
