Pokhara is another site for birders visiting Nepal. It is the second biggest town in Nepal. Along the edges of Pokhara, there are a number of good places where one can bird. Planning a two days in Pokhara.
Day 6 & 7
Start early in the morning and leave to the place called Parkland between town and the Phewa-Tal lake on the day one. Warblers, Pipits, Minivets are found quite easily. Water Redstarts are also found in this area along the lake. Try to arrange a boat to the other side of the Lake and countine to the top of the hill. Several species of birds can be seen on en-route despite the fact that the route is quite difficult to do due to its steepness.
Depending on the time or on the next day, visit local gardens and also arrange for a boat journey along the lake sides looking for birds.
The two day trip can be quite interesting as Phokara normally produces great species of birds.
The expected number of species for the two days is about 60 including Owls, Eagles, Warblers, Minivets, Woodpeckers, Redstarts, Niltavas, Treepies, etc. The count of birds is lesser mainly because there are common species found in Chitwan and Pokhara. The final itinanary is yet to be finalized. I am also looking for local guides who can help me to finalize my sites while I am Pokhara.
