Nestled between China and India, Nepal is much more than the center for extreme adventures-it's a basket full of nature and culture. From 60 meters above sea level in the lowlands to the mighty Mt. Everest, Nepal contains a vast range of landscapes. Pilgrims flock to its holy sites, adding to its spiritual significance.
But Nepal is not all about culture and adventure; it's also a haven for nature enthusiasts. Birdwatchers will find delight in its 892 bird species, of which the Spiny Babbler, for example, is only found here. The country also becomes famous for the Raptor Migration Watch, visitors to which come from almost all over the world, with many members of WBCM.
Those who will join our specially crafted itinerary for WBCM members will start the journey at Kathmandu Airport, where one will be cordially welcomed and transferred to the Holy Himalaya hotel. Our bird guide, experienced in bird conservation and eco-tourism for years, will accompany the participants during the entire tour.
The major highlight is spotting birds and mammals, but we will make sure that you get enough of the rich culture of Nepal and its breathtaking scenery. Be it scanning for rare species in the sky or soaking in the local tradition and culture, or merely the grandeur of the Himalayas, Nepal doesn't disappoint any nature lover and adventure enthusiast.
In Nepal, the prime seasons for bird watching are spring and autumn-the months from March to May and September to November respectively. These periods coincide with the arrival and departure of many migratory species that add to the diversity. Moreover, during the spring and autumn months, there are hectic activities of the resident birds as they are affianced in courtship love and nesting activities. Therefore, the birdwatchers get to enjoy a sight of dynamic change with both migratory and native birds in those selected seasons of the year, thus making Nepal an ideal place for ornithological expeditions.
You are also guaranteed the same quality in accommodation as that of Holy Himalaya Holy in Thamel, Kathmandu, throughout the trek. The teahouse or lodge will have all the basic amenities that a guest requires. Every day will begin with breakfast, then lunch, and dinner provided. If you desire a particular type of food, you can make your request. Because of proximity to some of Nepal's biggest cities, food or accommodations definitely will not have anything mediocre about them. All-inclusive facilities and delicious culinary food during the course of your travel await your acceptance.
