Nepal: Red Panda & Singalila Forest
A unique opportunity to visit a blossoming ecotourism destination in pristine forest! All our needs will be fully catered-to by the team of locals who run the cosy and comfortable homestay while also expertly tracking their fluffy targets: the enigmatic Red Panda. We expect to enjoy multiple quality sightings of these iconic mammals, which are easiest to see in early April! Easy roadside birding in this rich forest will probably see us finding around 150 species of excellent Himalayan birds in less than a week, including Fire-tailed Myzornis, Red-headed Bullfinch, Golden Bush Robin, Hoary-throated Barwing, Satyr Tragopan, Spotted, Black-faced, and Striated Laughingthrushes, Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler, Rusty-flanked Treecreeper, Golden-breasted Fulvetta, and many more.
