I didn't know what to expect from this tour as I never went bird watching before. It was a fun and peaceful experience. The guide was very friendly, knew his birds, and had a professional camera with him, resulting in stunning pictures of the spotted birds. If you want to hike for a day in Kathmandu valley instead of multi-day trekking, this is a great option. Awesome breakfast and lunch as well.

I highly recommend the Phulchoki bird-watching tour expertly guided by Nepali specialist Yubin Shrestha. Our customized tour led by Yubin was one of the highlights of our pre-trek week in Kathmandu. The all-day tour increased our life-lists immeasurably, introduced us to woodlands and cultural features close to Kathmandu but little visited by tourists, and most importantly added Yubin to our global network of birding experts. If you are a veteran bird watcher, or wanna' be bird watcher, or something in between, don't miss this tour with Yubin when you’re in Nepal!
This tour in Nepal is organized by Himalayan Smile Treks and Adventure Pvt.
