The useful part

Their mystery, silent flight, remarkable hunting skills, and cultural significance in Nepal make them truly fascinating to me. I have been working as a bird guide for over 20 years, leading birdwatching and nature tours across Nepal and Bhutan. While working as a trekking guide, I became fascinated by nature, especially colourful birds, their calls, behaviour and flight.

How it works

My interest gradually grew, and I started spending more time quietly observing birds in forests, wetlands and the Himalayas, learning to identify them by their size, shape, plumage, calls and behaviour.
The part I enjoy most is sharing Nepal's rich birdlife with visitors and helping them discover new or memorable species.
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the excitement and happiness on my clients' faces after a special sighting.What I dislike most is seeing natural habitats...

Details worth keeping

That's a difficult question, as I love many birds. If I had to choose, it would probably be owls. My name is Rajendra Gurung, and I live in Kathmandu, Nepal.
