Bird Watching in Nepal

Nepal is known as the paradise of enormous varieties of birds. Total about 873 species i.e. almost 10% of the world's recorded species are found in Nepal during different seasons within different regions. Among 873, within the Kathmandu valley alone, over 500 species of birds have been recorded. The surrounding hills offer a varied ecology ranging from primary and secondary forests to rhododendron, oak and pine forests. In addition, the wetlands and open fields inside the valley make up a diverse habitat for many species of birds. Besides surrounding Kathmandu, the National parks of Nepal's Tarai Region are the different nests of most of the species of birds in Nepal. Nepal, though small in its size, has all kinds of habitats for birds-wetlands, lakes, tropical and subtropical forests, coniferous and Himalayan habitats.
