 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 habitant in the subcontinent.
Some of these rich wildlife habitants are
now protected, and can be toured on elephant
back, 4wd, dugout canoe or on foot accompanied
by a licensed guide. Nepal has 16 national
parks, wildlife reserves and conservation
areas, 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 Suklaphanta
wildlife reserve, all located in the Terai.
Endangered species such as one-horned rhinos,
Bengal tigers, and Gharial crocodiles abound
on the ground, while uncountable species
of birds and butterflies dominate the air.
The indigenous Tharu ethnic group lives
in the lowland Terai areas around the parks
areas, and provides a surprising cultural
contrast to the mountain peoples of the
north. Nepal's parks and reserves offer
incredible Wildlife viewing opportunities
just choose the best one to suit your time
and interests.
