Bardia National Park

Bardia National Park, located in Nepal's far western Terai, is the country's largest and most pristine wilderness area. Covering 968 square kilometers of sal forest, grasslands, and riverine forest, Bardia offers the best chance in Nepal to spot wild Bengal tigers in their natural habitat.

Less crowded than Chitwan, Bardia provides a more authentic and wild jungle experience. The park is home to endangered species including tigers, Asian elephants, one-horned rhinoceros, and the rare Gangetic dolphin. The diverse ecosystem supports over 400 bird species, making it a paradise for bird watchers.

The Karnali River flowing through the park adds to its beauty and biodiversity. Activities include tiger tracking on foot, jeep safaris, dolphin watching, and visiting local Tharu communities. For those seeking a true wilderness adventure away from crowds, Bardia is the perfect destination.
