Overview

Bardia Wildlife Safari Tour will take you to the largest and most undisturbed of Nepal’s National Parks. Protecting large swathes of the Terai region Bardia is home to an incredible variety of mammals, reptiles, and birds. Located in the southwestern regions of the country, Bardia is only an hour's flight from Kathmandu but it feels like a world away from the bustling city. Visitors can relax as they explore the pristine and untouched natural landscapes of this stunning National Park. 

The region is expansive, consisting of a mixture of grasslands and Sal forests. It is bordered by the river Karnali in the west and the Churia range in the north. The Babai river runs right through the park. All of these combined create a unique environment that is the perfect habitat for an array of animals who roam freely throughout.

Whilst visiting Bardia, you will have the chance to observe a number of different types of animals including the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger and Nepal’s famous One-Horned Rhinos. There are estimated to be around 22 royal Bengal tigers and 100 one-horned rhinos at Bardia so spotting these are rare, but don’t be disappointed because there are over 30 different mammals, more than 250 species of birds, and several varieties of reptiles, and water animals to see during your stay in Bardia! A trip to Bardia will certainly stay in your memory as one of the most enduring experiences in Nepal. These jungles in the southwestern parts of Nepal are an hour’s flight away from Kathmandu and holds an incredible variety of mammals, reptiles, and birds.

Bardia National Park is also one of the most undisturbed protected areas in the Terai and is home to endangered species like the Royal Bengal Tiger and Nepal’s famous One-Horned Rhinoceros. The park is located in the far western district of Bardia and is bordered by the River Karnali in the west and the Churia range in the north, while the River Babai flows right through.

The varied geographical factors together with the cover of Sal, Savannah forests, and grasslands render this region ideal as a wild animal habitat. The park hosts 30 different mammals, more than 250 species of birds, and several varieties of reptiles and water animals.
