Frequently Asked Questions

When is the optimal time to visit Kabindra's Sashurali for birdwatching in Koshi Tappu?

We find the cooler, dry months from October to March offer the most sensational birdwatching. This period coincides with the arrival of numerous migratory species, making the wetlands around Koshi Tappu incredibly vibrant and active. The weather is also much more pleasant for exploring.

What kind of accommodation and atmosphere can we expect at Kabindra's Sashurali, being a guesthouse?

Kabindra's Sashurali offers a wonderfully authentic, comfortable guesthouse experience rather than a typical luxury safari lodge. We love its warm, family-run atmosphere and the simple, clean rooms that provide a peaceful base after a day of exploration. It feels very much like a home away-from-home, deeply connected to the local community.

Beyond the common birds, what unique wildlife encounters might we have while staying at Kabindra's Sashurali near Koshi Tappu?

While Koshi Tappu is a birder's paradise, we particularly recommend keeping an eye out for the wild water buffalo, a truly magnificent sight and unique to this reserve. You might also spot Gangetic dolphins in the Koshi River on a boat trip, an experience we find incredibly special and often overlooked.

How accessible is Kabindra's Sashurali and what are the travel logistics?

Reaching Kabindra's Sashurali typically involves a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Biratnagar, followed by a scenic drive of about two hours. We recommend arranging transfers directly with the guesthouse, as local transport can be less straightforward for first-time visitors. Once there, the guesthouse can easily arrange local guides and transport for park activities.

What activities can we arrange directly from Kabindra's Sashurali, and is it a budget-friendly option for exploring Koshi Tappu?

The guesthouse excels at arranging guided birdwatching walks, jeep safaris into the reserve, and boat trips on the Koshi River, all at very reasonable local rates. We find Kabindra's Sashurali offers excellent value for money, making the rich wildlife of Koshi Tappu accessible without the premium price tag of more established safari lodges.
