Bird Watching
Chitwan National Park is one of Asia’s most exciting bird-watching destinations. Located in the southern belt of Nepal. Chitwan National Park has exceptionally high bird diversity. It is home to many colorful resident species which share their habitats with healthy numbers of Palearctic and oriental migrants. Our tour explores the south, central, and northern parts of the park, looking for handsome hornbills, spectacular red-headed trogons, stunning pittas, beautiful kingfishers, and a host of other Asian vagrants. For those with extra time, a short extension to search for some of the Speckled piculets of the park should ensure a grand finale, and bring a taste of the remarkable birds of the southern part. There are approximately 641 species (2 endemics) recorded, in other words, 6% of the world species are present in Chitwan.
