A Winter Haven for Migratory Birds in Nepal

This beautiful open farmland becomes an important habitat for winter migratory birds. One of its most remarkable visitors is the globally threatened 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, while buzzards and other raptors can often be seen perched on haystacks, carefully watching the fields.

Agricultural landscapes like this remind us that Nepal’s farmlands are not only culturally beautiful—they are also valuable feeding and resting grounds for birds.

Plan your birdwatching journey in Nepal with an experienced local bird guide and discover the country’s remarkable birds, wildlife and natural habitats.

One of Nepal's most beautiful migratory ducks, the Ruddy Shelduck (चखेवाचखेवी) holds a special place in Nepali literature, poetry, folklore, and songs. The well-known expression "चखेवाको जोडी" has long symbolised true love, loyalty, and lifelong companionship, inspired by the bird's habit of remaining in faithful pairs.

As autumn approaches, these beautiful birds begin their annual migration from the high-altitude glacial lakes and river valleys of the Himalayas to Nepal's wetlands, rivers, lakes, and ponds, where they spend the winter. They are usually seen in pairs before returning to their breeding grounds in the 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐇𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚the following spring—one of nature's most remarkable migration cycles.

With heavy hearts, we share this tribute. 🕯️🏔️

It is almost impossible to believe, yet tragically true: Nepal and the global mountaineering community have lost some of their brightest and most heroic stars in the devastating Broad Peak avalanche in Pakistan.

We mourn Nirmal Purja—our beloved Nims Dai—along with Pur Bahadur Gurung (Yukta), Kili Pemba Sherpa (Kilu), Nima Sherpa, Gyalu Sherpa, Nawang Thindu Sherpa and all the mountaineers who lost their lives.

Their extraordinary courage and achievements inspired people around the world and carried Nepal’s mountaineering legacy to the highest summits.

Nepal Nature Treks & Tours Pvt. Ltd. extends its deepest condolences to their families, friends and the entire mountaineering community.

May their departed souls rest in eternal peace. Their legacies will live forever. 🙏
