Jungle Safari In
NEPAL |
 |
 |
|
While the high Himalaya makes up Nepal's northern
region, the southern lowland known as the Terai is covered with
dense tropical jungles teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic
birds. Here you will find some of the most exciting safari
destinations in the world. You will be going into deep jungle on
elephant back or four-wheel drive vehicle to view wild animals in
their natural habitat.
The best part is that it is close to Kathmandu and easily accessible
(only 165 km overland), and Bharatpur airport adjoining the park is
a mere 25-minute flight away (there are daily flights from
Kathmandu).
Other thrills are canoe rides on the jungle rivers, nature walks,
bird watching excursions, and village tours. Among the 14 national
parks and wildlife reserves in the Kingdom, the Royal Chitwan
National Park (932 sq km) is the most popular safari destination.
More than 43 species of animals are found in Chitwan. The endangered
one-horned rhino, Royal Bengal tiger, Gharial crocodile, four-horned
antelope, striped hyena, and the Gang tic dolphin are the main
attractions here. |
