Trip Overview

About the Bardiya National Park Safari

Explore the diverse flora and fauna of the largest and undisturbed national park in the Terai region of Nepal. Bardiya National Park Safari tour explores the variety of unspoiled wilderness, rare wild animals, vast forests, and the exotic Tharu community.

The national park covers 968 square kilometres (374 sq. mi) and is home to 642 species of animals, 407 species of birds, and 125 species of fish. The protected area is also a sanctuary to rare animals such as Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, Gangetic dolphins, swamp deer, and wild elephants. It is a perfect place to catch a glimpse of these endangered animals!

This 7-day Bardia National Park Safari trip starts from Kathmandu, the heart of the country. Next, a flight to Nepalgunj takes us to Bardia National Park, where we enjoy a jungle jeep safari, canoeing, bird watching, and more.

This short trip is appropriate for everyone, irrespective of age and physical fitness. Apart from short walks during sightseeing, there aren’t any strenuous walks involved in the Bardiya National Park safari. Thus, this trip is especially for you if you are willing to explore the undisturbed flora and fauna in Nepal in a very short time without having to compromise on comfort.

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.
