Nepal Birding: Kathmandu Valley, Koshi Tappu, and Chitwan National Park Tour Pricing

2023 Trip Pricing: £4,620 GBP, or $5,790 US Dollars*

for 15 Days and 14 Nights

 

Inclusions: 

  • Tour package includes all lodging, meals* and access fees to reserves, parks and other birding sites.

  • Premier Bird Guide: All of our tours use the services on an excellent bird guide, often a well-recognized expert on birding in this area. 

  • Top-Rated Preparation Services: We support your preparation for the trip. We provide information on the birds you will see and all the travel details, including all logistic details (arrival plans, trip itinerary, lodging details and more), information on entry into Nepal and information on travel health issues, packing information and more. Most of our clients comment that our Trip Participation Guide is the best they have ever seen.

  • Transport and Airport Transfers: 

    • Local ground (by vehicle) and fluvial (by boat) transport as described in the trip itinerary. We always have a driver or guide pick you up at the airport and take you to your first hotel. 

  • Acre for Bird Conservation: As part of our efforts to support bird conservation, we purchase in the name of customers (for each booking) at least one acre (but averaging between three and four acres) of wilderness to support bird conservation. As our trip prices are often 20% (and often even a better deal) less than our competition, this does not really cost you more and it is a great way to support bird conservation around the world.

  • Small Group Pricing: All the prices mentioned above are for tour groups of six to eight participants. We are happy to provide pricing for private groups with fewer than six participants.

 

*Pricing Notes and More Details:

 

  • British Pound Pricing: trip costs in Nepal are fixed in British Pounds.

  • Pricing in US Dollars: price fixed in British Pounds and estimated in US Dollars.

  • Bank Fees: We do not charge bank fees for wire transfers for clients paying into our accounts in the United States, the United Kingdom and/or Canada.

  • Note on Meal Inclusion: Meals include three meals per day during any full day of the trip. The arrival day does include lunch and supper, as most flights arrive in the morning. The departure day includes only breakfast, as most flights leave in the morning.

  • Note on Beverage Inclusion: Most of our meals are provided by the lodges, and we follow their practices in providing beverages at meal time. Most lodge-provided breakfasts include a choice of coffee, tea and/or juice, and most box lunches include either bottled water or juice. Other beverages served at supper are your choice and are an additional expense which you pay to the restaurant directly. We provide water at the table for supper. We also provide bottled water during the birding day.

Optional Costs for Booking the Trip:

 

Single Room Supplement: 600 GBP (or 780 USD*) is the price we charge for the additional cost of anyone not sharing a room with another birder (and/or a spouse). If you want a single room, please let us know.  We are able to find roommates for those wanting to share a room in many situations.

Pre-Paid Tipping for Meals/Lodging: Add $120 USD (or about £90 GBP*) to pre-pay these tips if in a shared room, or add $150 USD (or about £110 GBP*) if in a single room. We do present to you clear tipping recommendations if you want to do the tipping yourself. Most of our clients prefer to do the tipping themselves.
