Bardiya, which spans 968 sq. km. and is covered in beautiful woodland and grasslands, is thought to be the habitat of one-horned rhinoceroses and the Royal Bengal tiger.

One of the national parks where a wildlife safari can be best enjoyed in Bariya National Park in the western plains of Nepal. Bariya National Park is not as well-known as Chitwan National Park because of its isolation. Exploring the fauna in the national park is given a fantastic opportunity by this.

Nepal Bardia National Park tour offers to encounter endangered animals like One-horn Rhino, Royal Bengal tiger, and Wild elephant. The tiger number are increasing after their demise during the Maoist insurgency when poaching increased due to inadequate protection. As well as tigers, there are also populations of wild elephants and one-horned rhinos among the 30 species of mammals living here. Some others animals found in parks are swamp deer, blackbuck, and Gharial.

Several safari lodges in Bardiya provide wonderful accommodations and services for visitors to enjoy outdoor activities. Nepalgunj and Mahendranagar are the nearest cities from here, and it takes around an hour to travel to Thakurdwara on the Nepalgunj-Surkher road.

Activities in Bardia National Park Tour 

Elephant Safari

The most popular activity in Bardia National Park is riding elephants. An elephant safari is one of the best ways to interact with wildlife up close. You can get near elephants from a distance of up to one meter since they can approach animals without the animals realizing there are people riding on their backs. You are led inside the safe space. It is a thrilling experience to be able to witness wild animals and plants while on an elephant safari.

Jeep Safari

A Jeep Safari is one of the best ways to see the wildlife of Bardia National Park. The jeep safari is renowned for being an exciting trip through the lush grasslands, tall trees, hardwood Sal woodlands, and magnificent animals. As the quickest method of having a safari adventure, it allows guests to get a quick and close-up look at the park’s plants and animals. Also, because it covers such a large region at once, the Jeep Safari is great for bird-watching.

Culture show

The settlements are home to numerous ethnically varied communities, with the Tharus being the main tourist attraction. The dance performed by Tharu, one of the original inhabitants of Bardia, will tell the tale of their history, culture, traditions, and beliefs, including those of Hurdunguwa, the traditional stick dance, and other things. The guests are invited to dance with the dancers once the dance is over.

Fishing tour

Fishermen can take pleasure in fishing on the Karnali, Babai, or Bheri rivers, which provide a variety of excellent sites for catching catfish and mahseer. The months of October through November and February through May are the prime fishing months.

A one-day rafting trip or jeep safari can be combined with fishing on the Geruwa river, or you can go fishing on the upper Karnali river close to the Chisapani bridge. On the lovely Babai River, multi-day fishing and rafting trips are possible. We can arrange for you to have fishing licenses and equipment. Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own fishing equipment.

Rafting at Karnali river

While rafting, you have the excellent opportunity to observe wildlife along the riverbanks, including the endangered Gangetic River dolphin.

On the Karnali, Geruwa, and Babai rivers inside and beyond the park, we offer tours lasting an hour, an entire day, or several days. There are a few rapids in these rivers, but the water generally flows calmly. This makes it the ideal tour for observing wildlife and birds. When the water level is high enough, rafting expeditions on the lower Karnali river inside the park are often feasible from mid-June through the end of October. Along the upper Karnali and Bheri rivers, rafting is another option.

Bird watching tour

With the critically endangered Bengal florican and Sarus crane, Bardiya is home to more than 400 different bird species. On a jungle hike or rafting tour where we stop at locations near the river banks, you can see birds the best. You may also locate the lakes and marshes of “Godha Godhi tal,” “Badhaiya tal,” and “Satakhaluwa wetland forest” in the region, which provide lots of opportunities to view diverse species. The ideal months to see birds are September, November, February, and April.

Blackbuck Conservation area

The blackbuck conservation area is located nearby Gulariya, the district’s capital city, and is home to about 200 blackbucks, an antelope species. The 15.95 km2 area was created in 2009 to protect the blackbuck, an endangered animal.
