Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| I was born by the lap of a famous National Park in Nepal, Chitwan National Park so got the opportunity to develop the interest in wildlife and birding from a very early age. I have got BA in English Literature and have gone through a few courses on Ornithology conducted by WWF USA and National Trust for Nature Conservation. I am the only person in Nepal who has got a proper bird banding(ringing) course from UK for six months. I studied the declining population of the Asian Gyps Vultures from the small grant provided by Oriental Bird Club, UK and Bird Conservation Nepal. I do conduct conservation awareness programs and health camps for the school children and general public as a volunteer. I have been leading birding tours for ten years in Nepal and India(Central and Northern)for some English tour companies (Naturetrek, Ornitholidays and Birdseekers). | ||||||
