Koshi Tappu Wildlife Tour

Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve is a conservation area that was established in 1976 A.D., located in the eastern Nepal of the Terai region in the flood plain of the Koshi River at an altitude of 75 to 81m. This wildlife reserve covers an area of 175km2 and is surrounded by three districts, including Sunsari, Saptari, and Udaypur.

Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve was named as a Ramsar site in December 1987. In this national wildlife reserve, we can patrol different varieties of flora and fauna, including 280 species of birds, 20 species of ducks, 2 species of ibises, many strokes, egrets, herons, hog deer, wild deer, spotted deer, and blue bull. Not only this we can also see that this reservation protects the endangered species of birds and animals like gharials, crocodiles, genetic dolphins, swamp partridges, and Bengal floricans. This area is composed of tall grasslands, and all these grasses are cut down once a year and used for roof thatching and building walls. We can notice the last surviving population of wild buffalo or arna here. To reach this wildlife reserve area from Kathmandu, we go along the east-west Mahindra highway. October to March is the best season to travel to this area.

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.
