About this project

A field guide born from wonder

Nepal is one of the world's supreme birding destinations — a vertical country where a single day's walk takes you through more ecological zones than most continents can offer.

Nepal's extraordinary geographical compression — spanning just 200 kilometres from tropical lowlands to the highest peaks on Earth — creates a mosaic of habitats that supports over 900 bird species. This is a personal documentation project celebrating Nepal's avian world and connecting it to birds from every corner of the globe.
