  • C

    Crystal

    Asked on February 7th, 2026

    We are well travelled but not yet been to Nepal. We particularly love birds and wildlife. I notice there is a free day in Bandipur on day 6. Is it possible that we could do a long one day tour bird / wildlife spotting - hiking Ok too. even if this is returning yo Chitwan NP or other suggestions.

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      Yes, absolutely on the free day in Bandipur (Day 6), it's possible to arrange a longer day tour focused on bird and wildlife spotting, including hiking if you're comfortable with that. There are several options in the region, and in some cases this can include travel toward areas such as Chitwan National Park or other nearby nature-rich locations, depending on availability and timing. Your tour leader will be the best person to help arrange this locally, as they can recommend the most suitable options based on seasonal conditions and your interests, and assist with organizing guides and transport.

    Asked on April 3rd, 2015

    What time we need to meet the group at the start of the tour?

    Other
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2015

      You can arrive at any time on day 1 as there are no activities planned until the important welcome meeting at 6:00pm. Your leader will leave a note at reception telling you where and when this meeting will take place.
