Overview

Bardia Jungle Safari Tour in Nepal is a stylish tour package that allows you to experience the Royal Bengal Tiger and other animals. The Bardia Wildlife Jungle Safari tour offers a unique experience of Tharu culture and wildlife adventure.

Bardia National Park Jungle Safari

Bardia National Park is Nepal’s largest and most undisturbed wilderness area, covering 968 square kilometers. Established in 1988 near the southern border of the far north-west corner of Nepal, this Terai treasure adjoins the eastern bank of the Karnali River in the Bardiya District.

About 70% of the park is covered with forest, with the balance a mixture of grassland, savannah, and riverine forest. The flora recorded in the park comprises 839 different species of plants that pepper the wide range of vegetation, including alluvial and subtropical – both of which provide the perfect habitat for the 642 other species hosted within the park.

No matter what animal lover you are – the national park will have something to satisfy your curiosity. The Karnali-Babai river system and its myriad lakes are the perfect habitats for the 125 recorded fish species. However, it’s the mugger crocodiles that genuinely rule the lakes. Take a canoe and find yourself level with the water’s surface, cruising face to face with the formidable reptiles. Or, if you fancy something less intimidating, why not go dolphin watching and marvel as the Gangetic dolphin splashes past?

The most famous animals to rule this kingdom, however, are the land mammals. The Bardiya National Park is home to at least 53 mammals, including swamp deer, rhinoceros, wild elephants, and the infamous Bengal tiger. This protected area and the neighboring Banke National Park represent the Tiger Conservation Unit (TCU). So you can be confident that when you enjoy your safari, you are helping protect the animals within its kingdom.
