If there is a paradise on earth it is this. One of the most memorable experiences of our life. The Habres nest is perched on the most ideal location with views of Nepal on the side and India the other. The lodge is tastefully done with maximum comfort that one could imagine at this attitude and given the remoteness of the place.

You all over exceeded, by an unmanageable amount, our expectations of what it would be like to track down a wild red panda. You cater to every need, the food was outstanding, the rooms are supremely comfortable (thank you for choosing such comfortable linen), the tea service, the hot water bottle.The dedication of the trackers and the baseline philosophy and conservation objectives have left no more than utterly impressed
