The Bardia Jungle Safari tour is the best way to explore Bardia National Park in Nepal. Bardia National Park is located in the mid-far western Terai region of Nepal, and the park covers 968 sq.km. It is 585 km away from Kathmandu, and the park is the largest and most undisturbed expanse of wilderness in southern Nepal. About 70% of the land of the park is covered with Sal jungle, the remaining 30% is a mixture of grassland and savannah forests. The park contains eight types of ecosystems. The park headquarters are situated at Thakurdwara and are surrounded by idyllic villages and fields inhabited by an indigenous ethnic group, the Tharu.
The Bardia National Park had become a conservation area in 1976 AD and then attained National status in 1988 AD, presently a plan is being considered to expand the park further both north and eastwards as the conservation is a strong theme within Bardia, the park as well providing a home habitat for many species also provides an ideal environment for the study wildlife, more than thirty different mammals, over two hundred species of birds and many snakes, lizards and fish have been recorded within the national park, both resident and migratory birds can be found within the park boundaries.
Bardia National Park is home to 19 of Nepal’s 39 legally protected species, which include the one-horned rhinoceros, wild Asian elephant, Bengal tiger, swamp deer, blackbuck antelope, Gangetic dolphin, and gharial crocodile. The endangered birds include the Bengal florican, the silver-eared mesia, and the Sarus crane. In fact, the WWF indicated Bardia National Park as playing a major role in the survival of the world tiger population. As a result, it is not surprising to find that Bardia provides the best opportunity to view the Bengal Tiger in Nepal.
The 4-day Bardia Jungle Safari is carefully arranged by Himalaya Sacred Trek and Expedition to match travellers’ schedules and interests, offering a perfect balance of wildlife adventure, nature exploration, and cultural experience, creating truly lifetime memories in the heart of Nepal’s jungle.
