Wildlife Tour in Nepal

The wildlife tour in Nepal ensures you get the real jungle and nature tours in Nepal. It is home to a fascinating variety of animals and birds, including endangered species like the Royal Bengal tiger and the one-horned rhinoceros. The wildlife safari tours to the national parks are great adventure activities in Nepal. It is a tiny country between China and India but enjoys a climatic diversity ranging from hot/humid to alpine/arctic conditions, hence harboring an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Nepal is very rich in wildlife animals in Asia. The tropical jungles of the Terai preserve some of the best wildlife habitat in the subcontinent.

Nepal has 16 national parks, wildlife reserves, and conservation areas, occupying 16 percent of its total geographical area. Some famous national parks that lie in the plains (Terai) of Nepal are Bardia National Park, Koshi Tapu Wildlife Park, and Parsa Wildlife Reserve. Bardia National Park in the western Terai provides some of the best wildlife and nature viewing places in Asia. For the more serious birdwatcher, the Koshi Tapu Wildlife Park, in southeast Nepal, provides a unique venue for watching migratory waterfowl, waders, and shorebirds that congregate along the Koshi River from December to February every year. We have a choice of jungle lodges, tented camps, and guest houses from which you can explore the Himalayan parks and their wildlife. Jungle safaris on elephant back or jeep rides are offered at the Parsa Wildlife Reserve, which is located in Terai. Another famous national park, the Makalu-Barun National Park, is in a mountainous area of the Himalayas in northern Nepal; it includes the rich forested valleys of the Barun and seven other rivers. Wildlife tours in the park unfold an unlimited plethora of fun, adventure, excitement, and pleasure.

Bardia National Park is situated 585 km southwest of Kathmandu. It covers a 968 sq km area and is the largest national park in the lowland area of Nepal known as the Terai. With eight types of ecosystems ranging in diversity from flood plains to dense forests, Bardia is one of the prime habitats for a wide variety of wildlife animals but also an area holding the key to the survival of many endangered species. It is the best place to see tigers, wild elephants, and a host of other rare and not-so-rare animals and birds. It is also the only place in Nepal to see freshwater dolphins and blackbuck antelopes. There are a few wild elephants, and some of the males are considered the largest in Asia.

Chitwan National Park is easily accessible by road from Kathmandu or Pokhara, a scenic five-hour drive. Visiting Chitwan on your return from Pokhara will save you a day’s travel between Pokhara and Kathmandu. With its lush forests and exotic fauna, which include the rare one-horned rhino, the Royal Bengal tiger, crocodiles, elephants, deer, and over four hundred species of birds, the Royal Chitwan National Park offers one of the finest wildlife experiences in Asia. Lying in the Terai belt, encompassed by the Churia Hills and flanked by the Rapti, Reu, and Narayani rivers, the park covers an area of 932 sq. km. It was established in 1973 and is the oldest national park in Nepal. The park became a World Heritage Site in 1984.

Best Time to Visit

Spring and Autumn are the season for wildlife safari tour in Nepal, so we highly recommend that you explore the beauty of the Himalayas. March to early June is characterized by blooming rhododendrons in the hilly area with amazing warm temperatures; it makes a visually stunning time for tour and holidays.

So, March to May and September to December is the best time to explore adventure wildlife holidays in Nepal including trekking, or travel in the mountain area. Visitors also can travel to Nepal in the winter season (December to February) for wildlife safari tours and also can make short trekking, city sightseeing tours, at lower altitude.

Nepal is a tiny country located between China and India—a landlocked country, it is a naturally beautiful country. People also know the place where Lord Buddha was born and the country of Mt. Everest, so we believe it is a myth of heaven. Here we can get the variety of weather and different land structures here in Nepal. In the northern part of Nepal, you can see the panoramic mountains, including Mt. Everest—the top of the world. The middle part of Nepal is a hilly region; Kathmandu and Pokhara are also included in the hilly region, and it is a land for trekking and hiking. Hilly regions are the gateway to adventure trekking trails like Langtang, Everest, and Annapurna. The southern part of the country is the Terai region, and you can find flat land and warm weather where you will have a wildlife safari tour in Chitwan National Park. Nepal Himalaya Tours will provide you with the best transportation, deluxe hotel accommodation, and helicopters for Everest Mountain flights as well if you wish (but it is not included in the package). We also organize the Everest breakfast tour by helicopter at the Everest View Hotel, Syangboche, where you can see the Mt. Everest courtyard.
