Will I See Wildlife? I am an experienced guide and have taken many tourists through the Himalayas. Now I am back living and guiding in the area where I grew up. Although I cannot 100% guarantee you will see wildlife I will do my very best to take you places where the animals roam. These are wild animals so we can never predict exactly where they will be but we can try! Here are some of the animals you may see Deer Boar Bear Peacock Black pigs Rhino Wild Cats Tigers "If lucky while jungle walk" Parrots and many other birds Other Useful Tips VISA- Depending on which country you reside in a visa will more than likely be required. You can either obtain this before you travel or alternatively a visa on arrival is also possible. The process can be slow at the airport. If you are obtaining the visa on arrival you will be required to pay for it in USD(other currencies are also accepted). There are two machines in the visa on arrival hall that will scan your passport and take your photo. You can fill in the forms here electronically. The machine then prints you a ticket to take to the desk where they can process your visa.This is the quickest way to do it.
