By 'not requiring car', I don't mean refusing even an arranged transfer to/from the airport.
I mean that I don't have a driver's licence and don't want to depend on a guide and their car in order to move around the birding destination. Such a fully guided tour would be a tad too expensive for me.
Please suggest any high-quality examples,
especially in Asia
but also in Africa, Australia and anywhere else.
[EDIT: I should have mentioned that I live in Hong Kong, so I know about the big cities like Singapore or Shanghai. It would be cool to find slightly more exotic locations to consider!]
I have been thinking of visiting Dehradun in northern India, for example, at the start of next month. Ebird suggests that several hotspots at or near the city have a big species count. I imagine that there are enough rickshaws or app-ordered taxis to get me back to the hotel before sundown.
If you have any idea whether a long weekend at Dehradun would be a good plan, do let me know too.
Cheers!
