14 DAYS

Nepal has over 800species of bird life, some trasmigrating
all the way from Siberia. It provides one of the best places for bird enthusiasts
to visit. Programs range from one week to three weeks. We recommend two-week
programs for complete satisfaction and rare bird watching.
Reach Aqua Birds Unlimited Camp by an hour flight
from Kathmandu to Biratnagar Airport and pick up from airport for an hour
drive to camp. The diverse landscape of Nepalese terrain from the spectacular
view of the high himalaya, mountains, terraced hills, forests and cultivation
of the plain keeps one occupied during the journey. Another option is to
