Description

On the way to the monastery at the approximately 2,700 metre high mountain top of Mount Phulchowki, one passes through various zones of the mountain forest, all of which invite to observation. Observations in this area are made from the access road to the monastery and in the botanical garden, which charges an entrance fee. It is relatively easy to observe birds of the mountain forest here. Among the birds you can encounter are Asian Barred Owlet, Great Barbet, Maroon Oriole, Grey-headed Woodpecker, Small Niltava, Red-billed Blue-Magpie, Blyth's Shrike-Babbler and Fire-tailed Sunbird.
