Jungle Safari- Bardia
The Bardia Park is situated in the far west Terai region of Nepal. This park is not that different than Chitwan but is least explored and not crowded, because of its distance from Kathmandu or from Pokhara.
The 10 day’s world class river rafting trip ends right at the Bardiya park or one can take long drive from Kathmandu or fly from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj to reach in the park. Bardia park also includes the Babai River Valley. It was only in 1988 that is was granted a status of National Park in order to preserve the dwindling species of rare ecosystem, including flora and fauna, particularly the tiger and its other prey species.
This park is the largest and most undisturbed area in the terai providing excellent habitat for most of the endangered species of wildlife and birds. The park now covers an area of 968 sq. KM. It was only in 1994 that the basic facilities existed for independent visitors. It has extensive and varied wildlife-all endangered rhinoceros, Wild elephants, The Royal Bengal Tiger, Swamp deer, Black buck, Gharial Crocodile, Gangetic Dolphins.
