Introduction
Biratnagar is a small city very close to India and it is also where you fly into for visits to Koshi Tappu for birdwatching. Its a lovely rural area, very undertouristed and people are of course, this Nepal, very friendly. It takes about 2 hours by jeep to the camps and the huge river which is dotted with islands and sandbars. The birdlife is plentiful. Be careful of arna or wild buffalo.

Weather
Biratnagar generally has a rather warm and humid climate. Temperatures are around 30 degrees or more during the hotter March to October period and from June to September it also is the rainy period. This time of year is not advised for a visit. Winters last from November to March and still are relatively warm and for most parts dry as well. The best time for a visit probably is the October to December season when it is dry, clear, warm but not too hot or cold. The monsoon has ended by then.
