    Destinations for solo birding (on foot) in India & Nepal

    Koshi Tappu / Chitwan

    Can anyone recommend reasonably priced guides for these two areas? If you have any inside information on budget accommodation at KT I would be most grateful. I found one place which seems quite good: Sudip Homestay. Trying to keep my costs down because I'm doing a 3.5 month birding trip! Thanks!

    Nepal April/May 2024 Langtang region

    Yes it looks amazing. I don't think I will get lost but he did an unusual route at the beginning which was quite productive with birds. Just don't want to get into a dead end in the bushes and have to climb all the way back up again ;). Did you find blood pheasant or any of the other rarer ones?

    I think I am going to do a similar route to yours. Which map system did you use? I couldn't find some of the places mentioned at all or easily. Offline GPX would be good
