The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the best treks for bird watching and bird photography in the Himalayas for three reasons. Firstly, the Everest National Park alone is home to 219 species of birds. Second, you can enjoy birding without compromising on comfort as there are mid-range to luxury lodges throughout the trek. And lastly, wildlife in <\/span>Everest Region<\/span> is exceptionally approachable as the Sherpas do not hunt and bother wild animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best time for Birding in Everest Region<\/span><\/h2>\n

April<\/a> and May<\/a> are the best months for birding along the Everest Base Camp Trek. Most altitudinal migrants have made their way up, and there is a lot of breeding activity during this time. October<\/a> and November<\/a>, the best months for mountain views, however, have much less variety, as many of the altitudinal migrants have moved lower.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a detailed treatment, please refer to the <\/span>Best time to trek to Everest Base Camp Trek<\/span><\/a> Series.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get to Everest Region<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Lukla

The most popular way to start the Everest Base Camp Trek is to take a <\/span>flight from Kathmandu to Lukla<\/span><\/a>. You can also choose from several<\/span> alternatives<\/span><\/a>, which include flying to Phaplu or driving to Jiri.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suggested Itinerary<\/span><\/h2>\n

Among the numerous routes in the Everest Region, the <\/span>Gokyo Ri and Gokyo Lakes Trek<\/span><\/a> is the best one for birders. The trek sees fewer people than the Everest Base Camp Trek and goes through a wider variety of habitats. It is also possible to include the Everest Base Camp in your trek by going through the 5,420 meters high Cho La Pass<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

11 Birds of the Everest Region<\/span><\/h2>\n

11. Himalayan Griffon<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Himalayan
Himalayan Griffon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

High up in the afternoon skies above Ama Dablam<\/a>, you will see these birds circling. These vultures are ever watchful for the dead and dying. Just take a nap for a few hours in a secluded area, and you will probably have these birds circle you! You will then realize that the specks you see up in the sky are actually huge birds with ten feet wingspan and an ugly bald head.<\/span><\/p>\n

An interesting fact is that in some parts of the Himalaya, the dead are offered to Himalaya Griffons in an ancient burial rite. The ritual seems surreal and spooky, especially when the corpse is being chopped down. However, it makes perfect sense in a land where cremation is out of the question because wood is scarce, and burial is ineffective because decomposition can take ages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in the Everest Region: Pretty much everywhere after 11:00 am. Namche<\/a> is especially useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Lammergeier<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Lammergeier\"
Lammergeier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lammergeier is a massive bird with a 10 feet wingspan. Despite its feathered head and slimmer build, it is a vulture nevertheless. It can be told from the commoner Griffons by their wedge-shaped tail and narrower wings. These vultures can afford to have feathered necks and heads because it doesn’t bother with the filthy entrails and messy muscles of a carcass. It feeds on what other vultures leave behind- the bones. Well, not precisely bones, but bone marrow and to get at it, it takes the bones for a joyride and breaks them by dropping it on rocks below. Legend has it that a famous Greek playwright Aeschylus was killed when a Lammergeier mistook his bald head for a rock. Check headgear now! They have also been known to aid smaller mountain goats and sheep to lose their foothold in precarious cliffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Around Namche Bazaar, Dingboche<\/a>, Lobuche<\/a>, Gokyo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Alpine Accentor<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Alpine
Alpine Accentor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These guys are high altitude sparrows except for the fact that they love swinging. And we use the word ‘swing’ in its adult version. These birds form breeding parties in which everybody’s free to do everybody else. However, the males keep track of the females they had a good time with and only help her feed the hatchlings. They also happen to be one of the most trusting birds of the high altitudes and will only feel uneasy when you are an arm’s length away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Gokyo, Dingboche, Pheriche<\/a>, Lobuche, Gorakshep<\/a>, Chukung<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Great Rosefinch<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Great
Great Rosefinch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These birds are like little strawberries in ice cream. Adding much-needed color to the arid and snowclad environment of the upper stretches of the Everest Region, the Great Rosefinch is a cheerful little bird. However, come winter, these birds start their annual migration to lower altitudes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Dingboche, Pheriche, Lobuche, Gorakshep, Gokyo, Chukung.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Red-billed Chough<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Red-billed
Red-billed Chough<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Choughs are crows with red lipsticks and perhaps a more pleasant voice. It seems these guys love to fly for fun and are known for their regular acrobatic displays. They sometimes congregate in such numbers that when the whole gang takes wing, they blacken the sky. Usually, you will see them foraging in fields or breaking up yak dung for insects. Unlike most human beings, these guys mate for life, and a Cornish legend states that King Arthur’s soul migrated into one of these guys after his last battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Dingboche, Pheriche, Gokyo, Gorakshep, Chukung, Lobuche.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Spotted Nutcracker<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nutcrackers are more often heard than seen, and their harsh grating call isn’t too pleasant a sound. However, this bird shows enormous foresight as a single nutcracker can store up to a hundred thousand pine nuts during plentiful times. And thanks to its fantastic memory, the hidden stash comes in handy for months on end when food becomes scarce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Namche Bazar, Jorsalle<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Golden Eagle<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Golden

Golden Eagles are essentially tigers of the bird kingdom. Ferocious and indomitable, many countries, including Germany, pay tribute to these birds in their emblems, and the Mongols even train them to hunt foxes. They can bring down prey several times their size, and one such hunt is shown in BBC’s Planet Earth in which a pair of Golden Eagles bring down a Demoiselle crane. And guess what, the clip was shot here in Nepal at Mustang<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

They can generally be told from the vultures by the way they hold their wings in a V-shape while soaring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Namche, Pangboche, Dingboche, Pheriche, Thame<\/a>, Gokyo.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Grandala<\/span><\/h3>\n

It isn’t uncommon to encounter a group of these birds numbering in the hundreds. With their searing blue color, they are quite a sight, especially when they take wing to catch insects. While one of these pretty birds would make someone’s day, imagine seeing hundreds all at once.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Lukla, Gokyo.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Tibetan Snowcock<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Tibetan

This noisy partridge has forgotten the art of flight. At its best, it can flutter downhill, and that too if you insist on it. The best time to see them is during late autumn and winter when they go out in large parties up to 30 strong. They are also very tame or curious in the Everest Region, where its far-carrying kwek-kwek is a familiar sound, especially during mornings and evenings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Gokyo, Ev-K2-CNR. While it used to be common around all high altitude settlements, with the increasing number of dogs, they have become harder to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Blood Pheasant<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Blood
Blood Pheasant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These pheasants are excellent runners and take wing with much reluctance. The blood in its name comes from the fact that its face, eyes, and tails are smeared crimson. It makes birch forests its natural home and is seldom found away from it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Tengboche, Deboche, Phortse<\/a>, Dole<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Himalayan Monal<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Himalaya

Also called Danphe in Nepal, this guy is the dandiest of the high altitude pheasants with its iridescent plumage. It is also the national bird of Nepal and loves to fill the morning air with its far-carrying high pitched whistle. Like other high altitude birds, they are easier to see during the autumn and winter as they descend to lower altitudes then and also go about in large parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best place to see in Everest Region: Namche, Pangboche<\/a>, Phortse.<\/span><\/p>\n
