Recommended for birdwatching, trekking and tours in Nepal.

We only had two days for birdwatching in Kathmandu, and I'm very glad we chose Pratap as our guide. He was highly responsive on WhatsApp, arranged everything smoothly, and took us to a great mix of birding habitats.Pratap's ability to identify bird calls almost instantly, combined with his sharp eyesight and extensive local knowledge, helped us find and photograph many of our target species, along with several unexpected highlights. He was also proactive in helping us get better photographs by finding the best viewing angles and positions.I really liked that his focus was on finding the birds for us rather than spending time taking his own photos of the birds. He only photographed rather uncommon species or birds that were posing nicely that were hard to resist.With decades of experience as both a birdwatcher and trekking guide, Pratap is knowledgeable, professional, and reliable. Highly recommend him to anyone planning a birdwatching or trekking trip in Nepal!

Pratap noted everything we could see and helped me learn new bird songs and calls. That was a grand start to my time in Nepal.

Pratap is a great organizer and a wonderful travel companion. He prepared a tailor-made tour for us. He took care of every detail and showed us the beauty of Nepal. He has a wonderful knowledge of birds and their calls. A wonderful and unforgettable vacation 🙏

I enjoyed langtang trekking birdwatching tour with Pratap! Actually trekking and birdwatching are different, but Pratap is an excellent expert at the both. He has a lot of experience with trekking and birding, and it was so helpful to me experiencing himalayan fully. Next time birding at Nepal? Definitely with Pratap. I recommend this tour.

I spent the day with Pratap, the business owner as a guide through the Godavari area near the Botanical gardens. My experience was wonderful. I was guided to see over 50 new birds. Pratap could recognise most of the calls and the jizz of every bird, was gentle and patient to help me get a great view and clearly enjoyed helping a bird watcher like me get the best experience possible. The morning session was outstanding but the birds quietened as lunch approached as they do everywhere. I am super grateful for the service of such a dedicated professional. When I come back, I will definitely go on one of his companies longer tours.

I had a great 5 days birding with Pratap. Pratap is a great guide. He is vry knowledgeable. He has great hearing, often able to hear the birds before we spot them. This helps me to get ready. He is also a good birds and wildlife photographer thus he is able to put you in the best position to have a good angle to photograph the birds. enjoyed his company as well. He is easy going & we chatted on Nepal's history, geography and culture. Beside birding, I also learn about Nepal.Will recommend Pratap Gurung to anyone who wants to have a fruitful time birding and enjoying nature in Nepal.

On the 20th of February, 2026, I had the opportunity to visit Shivapuri National Park with Mr. Tek Gharti Magar, organised by Nepal Birding Tour. It was an excellently planned trip, and Mr. Tek was very patient throughout, knowledgeably explaining about the different bird species we saw and heard throughout the day (a total of 77 species by the end of the day!). I highly recommend organising your bird-watching tour in Nepal through Nepal Birding Tour, as you will be assured of excellent organisation of the trip itself, and fantastic memories and photos to carry back with you afterwards.

A friend of mine and I visited Nepal for 4 days in January. We employed the services of Pratap Gurung as a bird guide. What a stroke of good luck. We are serious birders and had a list of targets we wanted to see. Pratrap worked hard and found us all we wanted with his excellent eyesight and hearing. With his knowledge he showed us several birds we had not even expected to see. Additionally he was extremely accommodating, including providing excellent lodging and meals. As a real surprise, an unplanned opportunity arose and he was able to arrange for us to take a flight to see Mt Everest at very short notice. We are very happy with Pratrap and would give him the highest testimony for anyone wanting to bird in Nepal.

Nepal Birding Tour met all of our expectations. The leader Pratap was an effective leader who knows his birds and where to find them. He took care of all the details, and I would recommend him to anyone. In addition, Nepal more than lived up to our expectations. We also were able to take a flight near Mt Everest which was a real highlight.
