Nepal » Jungle Safari In Nepal

A trip to Nepal is incomplete if you have not been on a jungle safari. While the mountains of the north boast some of the highest and most magnificent peaks in the world, the tropical jungles of the Terai still preserve some of the best wildlife habitat in the subcontinent some of these rich wildlife habitats are now protected and can be toured on elephant back, four wheel drive jeep, dugout canoe or on foot accompanied by a licensed guide.

Among the 14 national parks and wildlife reserves in the Kingdom, the Royal Chitwan Nationals 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 Gangetic dolphin are the main attractions here.

The best part is that it is close to Kathmandu and easily; accessible (only 165 Km overland) and Bharatpur airport adjoining the park is mere 25 minute flight away (there are daily flights from Kathmandu). Many adventures also choose to go down by raft. In whatever way you go, a jungle safari is an experience you will remember for a long time.
