Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet sighting in Chitwan National Park on a given day, based on 688 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 37th most-seen of the 367 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June

Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lineated Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 16
Of the 16 parks where we can rate Lineated Barbet sightings, Chitwan National Park ranks 5th at about 40%. The best odds are in Kaziranga National Park (India, about 50%), Manas National Park (India, about 40%) and Bali Barat National Park (Indonesia, about 40%). All parks ranked.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lineated Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Chitwan National Park (688 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
