Bagmati & Manohara

Bird watching begins right in kathmandu by the banks of the Bagmati and Manohara rivers.

Though unchecked pollution has reduced the number of visitors, especially cranes, many species still occur. Birds sighted along these rivers are the Egrets, Herons, kingfishers, Ibisbill, Wood Sandpipers and Plovers to name a few. The Chobar gorge and Tanda are recommended sites along these rivers. Away from human distrubances many birds are seen here.
