Hi everyone,
I am now in my last year of pre-university education and I am planning to do a gap year next year (aug 2025 - July 2026) to travel and see beautiful birds. South Asia is a region which I am very interested in, and I really want to visit this region in November 2025 until February 2026. I don't have any concrete plans, but I was wondering if there are other birders who want to join me, or have such a same idea. Because it is a long period, I will travel on a budget which means I will probably be backpacking and staying in hostels. Countries I want to visit are (I will probably visit 4 of these):
