I have just arrived home from a trip to Nepal with my brother. This was a trekking trip to Mt. Everest base camp at 5364m however i managed to spot some birds along the way. Following the trek, we booked a one day safari in Chitwan National Park in the terai lowlands. We managed to I.D. a few birds here as well with the help of a local guide. Whilst in Chitwan we were lucky enough to see One-horned Rhinos, spotted and sambre deer and rhesus macaques. 48 species of bird were identified on the whole trip in Nepal, and here’s the list:
