What our travellers say

We went in March, and Krishna took us out to Kasara before sunrise to wait in the grass for a Bengal Florican display. When the male leapt into the air I could hardly believe it. Bis Hazari Tal on the last morning, with jacanas on the lily pads, was a lovely way to finish. Placeholder review.

After a few days of temples and traffic, a day on Phulchowki was exactly what we needed. Krishna found Mrs. Gould's Sunbird feeding in a rhododendron and a Spotted Forktail at the stream. We saw so many birds in a single day. Placeholder review.

The canoe ride at dawn was the highlight for me, with Gharials on the sandbars, kingfishers everywhere and a rhinoceros feeding on the far bank. Krishna's eye for birds is incredible, and he made the Great Hornbill in the forest feel like a gift. Our lodge was comfortable and the walks were relaxed. Placeholder review.

I have been trekking for years, but never with a birder alongside. At Bamboo, Krishna waited patiently while a Great Parrotbill finally came out into the open, and at Annapurna Base Camp we watched Snow Pigeons wheel in front of the south face at dawn. A Brown Dipper at Jhinu Danda was the sweet end to a wonderful trek. Placeholder review.

We were lucky with a clear November day. A Himalayan Bluetail showed beautifully near the top, Himalayan Griffons soared past the summit, and Krishna pointed out the Langtang range on the horizon. Gentle, informative and a lot of fun. Placeholder review.

We came for the mountains and left talking about birds. Krishna heard a Himalayan Monal before we had even finished our tea at Tadapani, and then found us a Kalij Pheasant walking across the clearing. The rhododendrons were in full bloom and the Fire-tailed Sunbirds were right in them. The pace was perfect, and we never felt rushed. Placeholder review.
