Another great place for birders in Nepal is the Koshi Tappu area. I am planning to go to Koshi Tappu by air from Pokhara on the 8th day of my stay in Nepal.
Day 8, 9, 10 & 11
Three days are required in Koshi Tappu Area. The area is quite big and some serious birding can be done in this area. One another advantage to this area from other areas like Chitwan and Pokhara, there are different types of birds present here. Birding in Koshi Tappu is bit expensive when compared to the other locations.
The number of new species expected in Koshi Tappu area is around 60. With Koshi Tappu, Chitwan, Pokhara and Kathmandu Valley, I am expecting between 200 to 250 new species to be added to my list. This list may not include the most attracted species of Nepal like Himalayan Monal, Snowcocks, Pheasants (expect Khalij Pheasant) etc. These species are found in much higher altitude.
The rest three days are dedicated for these species. I am contacting some birders in Nepal to get these information. Once the information is available, the rest of the trip will be finalized.
