This tour is tailored for avid nature and wildlife photographers, offering an immersive experience in a rich ecosystem filled with unique wildlife and over 400 species of birds. The tour is designed to provide you with a variety of environments, from the expansive wetlands to the grasslands and riverbanks, all brimming with opportunities to capture stunning images of rare and migratory species.

Your adventure begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar, followed by a scenic drive to Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, a destination that boasts one of the most diverse bird populations in South Asia. Upon arrival, you’ll start your photography journey by immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the reserve, with the chance to capture some of the most iconic bird species in Nepal. You’ll immediately be surrounded by a variety of birdlife, including Sarus Cranes, known for their graceful presence and towering stature, as well as Indian Rollers, whose vibrant blue feathers will add a splash of color to your photographic portfolio.

As you settle into the reserve, you’ll notice the abundance of migratory birds that call Koshi Tappu home during the winter months. Bar-headed Geese, Northern Pintails, and Pied Avocets are just a few of the species you may encounter as they rest in the wetlands. These birds provide excellent opportunities for both close-up and action shots, with many feeding in the shallow waters or taking flight across the vast grasslands.

The reserve is also home to a variety of mammals, which will add diversity to your wildlife photography collection. Wild buffalo (Arna) roam the wetlands, their large, powerful frames creating dramatic compositions against the backdrop of the sprawling reserve. Swamp deer, often seen grazing near the riverbanks, provide additional opportunities for capturing wildlife in motion. The elusive Blue Bull (Nilgai), with its distinctive blue-gray coat, is another highlight you can photograph in the reserve’s open grasslands. These mammals, known for their speed and agility, often appear at dawn or dusk, offering an ideal moment to capture their beauty in the soft light.

After getting acquainted with the reserve’s birdlife and mammals, you’ll embark on your first full day of exploration. The day begins with a river raft safari, where you’ll navigate the waterways of Koshi Tappu in a small raft, providing a unique vantage point to photograph both birds and animals. From the river, you’ll have the opportunity to capture Kingfishers, including the vibrant Common Kingfisher, as they dive into the waters in search of fish. This action-packed experience will allow you to capture these agile birds mid-flight or as they perch on branches, making for dynamic and colorful shots.

Following the river raft safari, you’ll transition to a jeep safari around the reserve, exploring different terrains and increasing your chances of encountering wildlife. The jeep safari offers a more expansive view of the reserve, taking you through tall grasses, wetlands, and forested areas. Here, you’ll have the chance to photograph more elusive wildlife, such as wild boars and Hog Deer, as they forage or roam the landscape. You may also spot raptors like the Pallid Harrier and Eastern Marsh Harrier, both of which can be captured soaring above the wetlands in search of prey. The reserve's raptors are often seen hunting over the open fields, offering fantastic bird-in-flight photography opportunities.

On the next day, your photography adventure continues with another full day of exploration. You’ll once again take part in a river raft safari to explore different parts of the reserve's waterways. From here, you’ll be able to capture more species of birds, including Black-necked Storks, Eastern Cattle Egrets, and Pond Herons, which can often be seen feeding along the riverbanks. These birds, often seen in close proximity to large mammals like wild buffalo, provide an exciting opportunity for capturing unique interactions between species.

The day will also include another jeep safari, this time around a different section of the reserve, where you’ll encounter new landscapes and potentially different wildlife. The swamp deer and Blue Bull are frequently seen in the more open grasslands, providing excellent chances to capture these majestic mammals in their natural habitat. You may also spot additional bird species, such as Greater Adjutant Storks and Black-headed Ibis, which frequent the wetlands in search of food.

As the trip nears its end, you’ll enjoy an early morning photography session, where you’ll have the chance to capture wildlife in the soft, golden light of dawn. This is a prime time for photographing animals like wild buffalo and Blue Bulls, as well as birds that are more active during the cooler hours of the morning. The peaceful serenity of the reserve at sunrise offers an ideal opportunity to photograph animals in their most natural state before the heat of the day sets in.

After your early morning shoot, you’ll head back to Biratnagar, where you’ll catch a flight back to Kathmandu, bringing your adventure to a close. The memories of your time spent photographing over 400 species of birds, capturing rare mammals like wild buffalo and Blue Bull, and experiencing the natural beauty of Koshi Tappu will stay with you long after your return.

Trip Info

Best Time for this Photography Tour

The best time for the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve Bird and Wildlife Photography Tour is during the winter months from November to February and the spring months from March to May.

  • Winter (November to February):

During these months, the weather is cooler, and migratory birds like the Bar-headed Goose and Greater Adjutant Stork arrive in large numbers. The dry, clear days provide excellent conditions for birdwatching and wildlife photography.

  • Spring (March to May):

The temperature becomes more moderate, and the wildlife becomes more active. The lush greenery during this time adds beauty to the landscapes, providing great opportunities for photography of both birds and animals.

 

Animals and Birds Behaviors during these Seasons

The behavior of both animals and birds varies according to the seasons of winter (November to February) and spring (March to May).

Winter (November to February):

  • Birds: This is the peak migratory season in the reserve. Thousands of migratory birds, such as the Bar-headed Goose, Greater Adjutant Stork, and Sarus Crane, arrive at the reserve for the winter. These birds are more easily spotted, and you can photograph them as they feed and roost along the riverbanks and wetlands. Their behavior during this period is more focused on foraging and conserving energy, especially in the cooler temperatures.

  • Mammals: Many of the resident mammals like Wild Buffalo, Blue Bull, and Deer are more active during the cooler months. They graze in the early morning and late evening, providing good opportunities for photographers to capture them against the soft light. During the day, they tend to rest in the shaded areas to stay cool.

  • General Behavior: The animals and birds are generally less active in the midday heat and are more likely to be spotted in the early morning or late afternoon. The cooler weather also reduces the presence of insects, making it more comfortable for wildlife to roam.

Spring (March to May):

  • Birds: In spring, the migratory birds begin to move on, but the resident species, such as the Indian Roller and Marsh Harrier, become more active. You may observe their nesting and mating behaviors. The warmer temperatures also encourage increased activity among the birds as they prepare for breeding seasons. This is also a great time for capturing birds in flight, as many species are engaged in territorial displays and courtship rituals.

  • Mammals: The mammals become more active during the warmer spring days. Wild buffalo, Blue Bull and Deer can be found grazing in the open during the midday hours. Young animals may be spotted during this time as some species give birth in the spring, offering opportunities for photographing animals with their young.

  • General Behavior: The warmer weather leads to more extended activity periods, with animals being visible for longer stretches of the day. Birds will be more engaged in territorial behavior, and the lush landscapes during this season provide a beautiful backdrop for wildlife photography.

In summary, winter is ideal for observing large flocks of migratory birds and photographing them in their serene environments, while spring offers vibrant activity and the chance to capture birds in their mating and nesting behaviors, along with more active mammals. Both seasons offer unique photographic opportunities and a chance to observe wildlife in different stages of their annual cycles.

For wildlife photography, use a high ISO (800-1600) to allow faster shutter speeds. Set your camera to shutter priority mode (1/1000s or faster) to freeze motion. For birds in flight, consider a continuous shooting mode to capture a series of images. Use wide apertures (f/4 - f/8) to isolate your subject from the background, ensuring a clear focus.

To photograph birds in flight, use a fast shutter speed (1/1000s or faster) to freeze motion. Set your camera to continuous autofocus mode (AI-Servo or AFC) to track the bird's movement. Consider using burst mode to capture a series of shots, increasing your chances of getting a perfect image with sharp details.

In low light conditions, use a wide aperture (f/2.8 - f/5.6) to allow more light into the camera. Increase your ISO settings while balancing it to avoid grainy images. Additionally, using a sturdy tripod or monopod helps prevent camera shake during low light shots, ensuring sharper images even at slower shutter speeds.

To improve your composition, apply the rule of thirds, positioning your subject off-center for a more balanced shot. Always aim to capture wildlife in their natural environment, such as in action or in interaction with their habitat. Include elements like water, trees, or grass to create context and depth in your wildlife images.

Yes, in wildlife photography, the eyes are the most critical part of the subject. Ensure that the eyes of the animal or bird are in sharp focus, as they convey emotion and add life to the image. This is particularly important for portraits of mammals and birds, where the eyes can make the image more engaging.

In post-processing, enhance your wildlife photos by adjusting contrast, sharpness, and saturation to make colors pop. Cropping can help improve composition, focusing on the subject. For bird and animal shots, use noise reduction tools to clean up any grain from higher ISO settings. Lastly, fine-tune the exposure to ensure proper lighting.

To capture behavioral shots, focus on patience and anticipation. Watch for key moments such as feeding, courtship, or social interactions.
