About the Author

Richard Grimmett, Carol Inskipp and Tim Inskipp are names synonymous with birdwatching in the Indian Subcontinent. All three are widely travelled in Asia and have contributed to numerous field guides to the constituent parts of the region.

Hem Sagar Baral is a leading expert on the birds of southern Asia. For four years, he worked as a naturalist at Royal Chitwan National Park before completing a diploma in geology at Tribhuvan University and then earning a PhD for his work on the lowland grassbirds in Nepal. Until 2023 Hem was the ZSL's representative in Nepal.

Reviews

This a thoroughly revised and updated edition of what is now claimed to be, surely justifiably, the most comprehensive guide to the birds of Nepal. Not only have the texts been completely rewritten, but they face the illustrations (many replaced) of more than 790 species on the plates.

This is a very useful book, and if you are heading to Nepal for the first time, an essential addition to the hand luggage. If you have been before and are heading back, it is well worth upgrading from the first edition.
