A trip to Nepal is incomplete if you
have not been on a jungle safari. While the mountains of the north have
some of the highest and most magnificent peaks in the world, the
tropical jungles of the Terai preserve some of the best wildlife
habitat in the subcontinent. Some of these rich wildlife habitats are
now protected, and can be tours on elephant
back, 4 WD vehicles, and dugout canoes or on foot accompanied by a
licensed guide.
Nepal has 16 national parks, wildlife reserves and conservation area,
occupying 16% of its total geographical area. Jungle safaris on
elephant back or Jeep rides are offered at the Parsa Wildlife Reserve,
Royal Bardia National Park, Royal Chitwan National Park and the Royal
Sukhlaphanta wildlife Reserve, all located in the terai.
Among them, there are two famous two National Parks Royal Chitwan
National Park, & Bardia National Park where you can explore the
wild-life getting yourself deep into the heart of the forest, while the
others serve as the natural habitat to thousands of animals including
Snow-Leopard, Gharries, Crocodiles, Ram, Bob Cats, endagered Red Panda,
Elks, Deers, Anteplores, Kasturi, monkeys, hundreds of birds (in fact
Arun Valley has the largest population of birds (650+) and butterflie
