Private 3-Day Haibung and Shivapuri Birding Escape
A relaxed three-day birding retreat near Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, combining forest walks, Himalayan views and a comfortable Haibung base.
About this tour
Leave Kathmandu for the forested Haibung hills near Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. This private short break uses a comfortable local resort as a base for unhurried birding, nature observation and photography.
Forest trails and lodge surroundings provide opportunities for Nepal’s endemic Spiny Babbler and a varied highland community that may include eagles, sunbirds, flowerpeckers, robins, barbets and magpies. Morning and late-afternoon outings are balanced with time to rest and enjoy the mountain setting.
Haibung can be reached by jeep or by a longer walk through Shivapuri. The final access plan, accommodation, meals, transport and current price are confirmed for the chosen dates.
