Our approach
Passion, proven in the field — not in adjectives.
Stripe & Feather exists to show Nepal through wildlife and birding alone: ethically, honestly, and with the kind of expertise that only decades in the field can build.
Who we are
A naturalist’s eye, at the centre of everything.
We were built around guiding talent with around thirty years in Nepal tourism and more than a decade dedicated specifically to birdwatching and wildlife. That means someone who reads a forest fluently — pugmarks in riverbank silt, the alarm call of a spotted deer, the bird named by its song before it’s ever seen.
Our anchor is Chitwan, where we run the ground experience ourselves from a base we control, giving us full command of quality on that leg of every journey. Beyond it, we reach Bardia, Shuklaphanta, Koshi Tappu and the eastern hills through long-established, trusted ground partners — so we can offer the whole of wild Nepal without ever cutting a corner.
What we stand for
Four lines we won’t cross
Ethical, always
No elephant-back safaris. No baiting or calling in wildlife for a photo. No staged encounters. We watch wild animals on their own terms — that rule is not negotiable.
Honest about the wild
We never guarantee a sighting, never compare Nepal to Africa’s Great Migration, and never trade in breathless superlatives. We tell you the real odds for the season, every time.
Conservation-minded
We work with community forest guardians and support the local livelihoods that keep wild places wild. Responsible tourism is the long game we’re playing.
Specialists, not generalists
Wildlife and birding is all we do. That focus is why our guiding, our timing and our itineraries go deeper than a general “see Nepal” agency ever could.
Chitwan’s tigers are shy, and sightings are never guaranteed — that’s the honest truth of wildlife tourism here. What you can count on is a naturalist who’s spent decades reading pugmarks, alarm calls and riverbank tracks, giving you the best possible chance nature allows.
— How we talk about wildlife, always
Something new
Wellness, in wild places.
Alongside our core wildlife and birding journeys, we’re developing a wellness-in-nature programme — quiet, restorative time in the forest and grassland, for travellers who want their wild days to slow them down as much as show them something.
