On the first day, you will arrive at Bardiya and meet your expert guide, who will brief you about the birdwatching experience ahead. In the afternoon, set off for a session by the Babai River, a hotspot for aquatic birds and migratory species. As the sun sets, return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and an insightful talk by an ornithologist, where you’ll learn about Bardiya’s bird species and their conservation.
The second day begins early with a refreshing morning walk along forested trails to spot hornbills, orioles, and other forest-dwelling birds. After breakfast, enjoy a mid-morning photography session at key birding locations, perfect for capturing memorable moments. As the day winds down, relax over lunch and reflect on the incredible birdlife you’ve encountered before bidding farewell to Bardiya’s natural wonders.
As a Nepalese who has always loved nature, the Birdwatching Safari in Bardiya was a dream come true. I never imagined I would see such a variety of birds in one place—hornbills, kingfishers, eagles, and even the beautiful paradise flycatcher! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience even more enriching by sharing fascinating facts about the birds and their habitats. The canoe ride along the Karnali River was a highlight; it was so peaceful, and we saw crocodiles and even a Gangetic dolphin! The lodge was very comfortable, and the food was delicious, with a nice local touch. This package is perfect for anyone who loves birds and wants a relaxing yet fulfilling adventure in nature. Truly a proud moment to experience the incredible biodiversity our country has to offer!
