About This Tour
About This Tour
The Bardia Wildlife Safari Tour takes you to Nepal’s largest and most remote national park — a vast expanse of sal forest, grassland, and riverine habitat in the western Terai that shelters the country’s best population of Bengal tigers. Bardia receives a fraction of the visitors that Chitwan does, which means quieter trails, more authentic wildlife encounters, and a sense of genuine wilderness that is increasingly rare in South Asian parks.
The park sits along the Karnali River, one of Nepal’s great rivers, and a float trip down the Karnali is one of the highlights of any Nepal wildlife experience — with gharial crocodiles, Gangetic dolphins (if you are very fortunate), and diverse birdlife along the riverbanks. Jeep safaris penetrate deeper into the park’s tiger territory, and walking safaris with experienced Tharu naturalists offer intimate encounters with the forest ecosystem.
