It is a fascinating journey where you pass through various villages in the lowlands of Nepal. It is an opportunity to get some insights about unique Nepali culture and their way of living. By the late afternoon, we will find ourselves at Koshi Camp. We will set a tent close to Koshi River where we will spend our three nights. The Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve lies at the eastern corner of Nepal in the plains of Sapta Koshi River. It covers an area of 175 square kilometers to the north of the kilometer-long barrage that spans the Koshi River. Lying in a splendid location, this reserve offers an outstanding wetland habitat and is one of the finest bird watching sites in Asia. Almost all of Nepal's long list of wildfowl, waders, storks, ibises, egrets, terns and gulls occur here, plus a great variety of land birds, especially warblers and birds of prey.

As we ascend up, we can even get some good views of the snow-clad great Himalaya, including the Annapurna range, Langtang and many other high peaks (provided the weather is clear!). We can spend the rest of the day walking down the mountain through its fine temperate and subtropical forest, with a picnic lunch en route. Some of the many highlights include Red-flanked Bluetail, Fire-tailed Sunbird, White-collared and Grey-winged, Blackbirds, Long-tailed Minivet, White-tailed Nuthatch, Orange-barred Leaf Warbler, Orange-bellied Leafbird and many more.
