Bardia National Park, located in the mid-far western Terai region of Nepal, is the country's largest and most undisturbed wilderness area. Spanning 968 square kilometers, it offers a rich tapestry of ecosystems, from dense sal forests to grasslands and riverine habitats. Unlike the more frequented Chitwan National Park, Bardia provides a more tranquil and authentic jungle experience.
The park is renowned for its successful conservation efforts, particularly in increasing the population of the Royal Bengal tiger. Visitors can embark on various activities, including guided jungle walks, jeep safaris, and canoe rides along the Karnali River. These activities not only offer opportunities for wildlife sightings but also provide insights into the park's diverse ecosystems and the importance of conservation.
