Nepal is renowned not only for its majestic Himalayas and deep-rooted cultural heritage but also for its rich natural ecosystems. For those passionate about wildlife and nature, the Terai plains in southern Nepal present some of the most diverse and exciting environments in the region.
Chitwan National Park, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a prime destination to witness Nepal’s wilderness up close. Spanning 952 square kilometers, it offers memorable activities such as jungle safaris, canoeing, and birdwatching, where travelers have the chance to see rare animals like the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, gharial crocodile, and sloth bear in their natural settings.
To the west, Bardiya National Park provides a quieter, more untouched alternative. Encompassing over 960 square kilometers, it features vast sal forests, open grasslands, and vibrant wetland habitats. Bardiya is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts hoping to spot elusive creatures such as wild elephants, leopards, tigers, swamp deer, and an impressive variety of birdlife.
Both parks also allow for meaningful cultural interaction with the indigenous Tharu communities, offering insight into their traditional lifestyle through performances, food, and village visits. Embark on the journey to Wildlife & nature with Asian Adventure Treks & Expedition.
