If you have made all the standard trekking and birding routes in Nepal and looking for something really different” off the beaten trek”.
– If you want to experience Nepal untouched by tourism, as it was generations ago;
– If you want to have National Park all for your self;
– If you want to explore an area with a specialised biodiversity, with rare species only found in far western himalaya region;
– then I can strongly recommend to visit Khaptad National Park and area;
I experienced remoteness, wonderful landscape and mountain views, special flora and fauna, magnificent birding and people so friendly, happy to welcome foreigner. I was the only western visiter in 2013 and was welcomed accordingly.
Best time to go: beginning of April – Rhododendrons are in full flower and birds have mating season.
