Overview

The Bardiya Wildlife Safari offers an unforgettable adventure through one of Nepal’s most pristine and biodiverse national parks. Bardiya National Park is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife, including Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceroses, wild elephants, leopards, and a wealth of bird species. The safari allows you to experience these animals in their natural habitat, whether it’s through a thrilling jeep safari, a guided jungle walk, or a serene canoe ride on the Karnali River. The dense forest, open grasslands, and riverine areas of Bardiya provide the perfect setting for observing wildlife up close. The expert guides at Bardiya Safari ensure a safe and informative experience, sharing their extensive knowledge about the park’s flora, fauna, and conservation efforts.

What sets the Bardiya Wildlife Safari apart is its emphasis on eco-tourism and responsible wildlife observation. Unlike the more crowded national parks in Nepal, Bardiya offers a tranquil and intimate wildlife experience, allowing visitors to get closer to the animals while maintaining respect for their natural behavior and environment. In addition to animal sightings, the park’s diverse ecosystems provide visitors with breathtaking landscapes and opportunities for bird watching and photography. Whether you are a seasoned wildlife enthusiast or a first-time visitor, the Bardiya Wildlife Safari guarantees a once-in-a-lifetime experience in one of Nepal’s most remarkable wildlife reserves.

Jungle Walk (Rafting in Karnali):
The jungle walk in Bardiya National Park is a thrilling and immersive way to explore the park’s diverse ecosystems on foot. Led by experienced naturalists, this walk offers an intimate experience with the park’s wildlife and natural beauty. Walking through the dense jungle, you’ll have the chance to observe animals and birds in their natural environment while learning about the park’s unique flora. The jungle walk is a slower-paced way to experience the wilderness compared to a jeep safari, allowing for more personal and detailed encounters with the wildlife and plant life. You might come across tracks of tigers, rhinos, or elephants, and if you're lucky, you may even encounter them up close.

Additionally, the jungle walk often combines seamlessly with a rafting trip on the Karnali River, enhancing the adventure with a water-based experience. Rafting along the Karnali offers the chance to see the park from a different perspective, drifting past lush riverbanks while observing wildlife such as crocodiles and water birds. The river itself is a major part of Bardiya's ecosystem, and the rafting experience provides a unique way to engage with the region’s natural wonders. Whether you are walking through the dense jungle or rafting on the majestic Karnali River, this combination of activities offers an unparalleled adventure for those seeking both excitement and a deeper connection with nature.
