WHY CHOOSE US
Integrity, Passion, and Unforgettable Birding Experiences
In an era dominated by digital information, the internet is widespread with various websites that may mislead visitors by presenting unrealistic offerings.
However, our approach at Wild Nature Quest is fundamentally different because we are genuine and dedicated and make commitments that we can sincerely fulfill. As passionate birders ourselves, our stance goes beyond just making money. Instead, we dedicate ourselves to the unwavering fulfillment of the promises, steering clear of the hollow pledges that could ultimately stain our clients’ expedition experience.
OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Uncovering New Bird Species in Bhutan Through Dedicated Birding Tours
We are honored and proud to have contributed three new bird species to Bhutan during our many years of organizing birding tours. All these sightings occurred during our bird tours with clients.
Our first significant sighting was of a juvenile Red-necked Phalarope on April 19, 2010, on the banks of the Phochu River in Punakha, while guiding a group from America. This sighting was confirmed as a new species for Bhutan by the relevant government organization and an article was published in a national newspaper. However, at that time, there was no formal certification process for the observer.
