Jungle Safari

Nepal has 16 National Parks to choose from and one of the most impressive lists of species in the world. But, what you'll see won't be the only thing to exhilarate you. Led by professional rangers, you'll get the chance to follow tracks, learn how to recognize particular signs and identify sounds.

Getting around many of the National Parks will be an added attraction if you are the adventurous sort. Depending on where you visit, you'll have the option to journey by dugout canoe, jeep or in some cases, elephant.

Both located in the Terai region of Nepal, our Jungle Safaris explore the Bardia National Park and the Chitwan National Park. We've designed minimum of 2 night / 3-day packages to these National Parks. Should you wish to stay longer to really soak up the atmosphere, we will tailor your trip accordingly.

Please, don't forget to bring your binoculars.

Chitwan National Park and Parsa Wildlife Reserve:

Chitwan National Park and the contiguous Parsa Wildlife Reserve cover just over 1431 square kilometers. The Park includes a section of The Chure hills and the Rapti, Narayani and Reu Valleys. The park is home to the only significant number of one-horned rhinoceroses surviving in Nepal, and to other endangered species such as the royal Bengal tiger, the Gangetic dolphin and the Gharial crocodile. Altogether there are more than 43 species of large mammals and over 450 species of birds. There are no human communities living in the park.

Bardia National Park:

This 968 square kilometers reserve is reminiscent in many ways of Chitwan National Park. Here is higher likelihood of seeing a royal Bengal tiger. The reserve is bordered to the north by Chure hills, but is predominantly flat and dominated by sal forests and grassland. As well as tigers, there are blue bulls, a variety of deer, a few wild elephant and a small heard of introduced rhinoceros. If you are lucky you might also see Gangetic dolphin in the river.

Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve:

This 175 square kilometers wildlife reserve lies on the beautiful flood plain of the Sapta Koshi in eastern Nepal. The reserve is often flooded during the monsoon, although mostly shallow depths only. It is home to the last surviving group of wild buffalo and several species of deer. A total of 280 different species of birds-including many migratory birds-have been recorded.

Sukla Phata National Park:

This 305 square kilometers reserve lies in the far southwestern corner of Nepal. It covers a riverine flood plain, dominated by sal forest, but like Bardia and Chitwan National Parks, there are also grasslands, which make it ideal for wildlife observation. Sukla Phata is one of the last strongholds of the endangered swamp deer, but there are also around 35 tigers and an estimated 45 wild elephants, as well as leopard and a variety of birds.
