Safari and Nature Tours
Brief
Description
 Nepal's
tourist attractions
are not only for the Himalayas and its diverse culture,
but also for a blend of nature and human-efforts. Nepal
has around 18 percent of its land as protected area
- either known as national parks or wildlife reserves.
While the high Himalayas make up Nepal's northern region,
the southern lowland known as "Terai" is covered
with dense tropical jungles teeming with diverse wildlife
and exotic birds. Here you will find some of the exciting
safari destinations in the world. Among the 14 national
parks and wildlife reserves in Nepal, the Royal Chitwan
National Park (967sq-km), Royal Bardiya National Park
(968sq-km) and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (175sq-km)
are the most popular safari destinations. These Parks
and Reserves are homes to many rare wild animals including
the Royal Bengal Tiger, endangered one-horned rhino,
crocodile, four-horned antelope, striped hyena, the
Gangetic dolphin, and more than 550 different species
of colorful birds. Jungle safari activities include
going into deep jungle on elephant
back to view the wildlife, ride canoe on the park rivers
to see Crocodile and water birds, nature walk, bird
watching, native village tour and cultural show. All
these parks are easily accessible by road and regular
flights to organize your trips. Many adventurers also
take rafting trip to go down. However you go, a safari
trip in Nepal is an experience you will remember for
a long time.
